True love

I love you he said, as he patted my head

It's been a long day, you coming to bed?

Such is the life of a common law wife

The tension at times you could cut with a knife.

Where once love did live, my heart I would give

To watch memories fall out through a bottomless sieve.

I'll speak not a peep, but go quickly to sleep

For when morning time comes, It's me he will keep.

I've never been in a common law marriage but I imagine there must always be some feeling of incompleteness or hmm, not sure of the word I'm looking for but anyway, I know this not a good review but I did like the poem and can see your feelings.
