He goes to the same job everyday.
He comes home to his wife every night.
They rarely touch each other.
Only on special occasions, like birthday’s and July 4th.
There not attracted to each other anymore.
They don’t make a fuss about it.
A few years back, they were fighting and swearing that they were going to leave one another.
When the fighting subsided, they both realized they were both a bunch of cowards.
Neither one had the courage to go out and meet someone else.
They don’t despise one another.
They are friendly roommates waiting for Death.

Thanks Damian.
Can actually relate to this. Sadly. I feel my fiance and I no longer really love each other, not even any attraction exists. While I was reading your piece here, I felt my creative, poetic juices flowing and if I dont have any more purpose with her, then poetry and story writing will become my purpose in life. You write a simple piece, yet totally thought provoking. Bravo!
Thanks man. I keep my writing simple, always. Many relationships go sour. It’s a very difficult thing to stay loyal and happy with that one person for the rest of your life. Stay creative Daniel. Wish you the best with your relationship.
