A Questionable Marriage
My spouse and primary caregiver howls,
‘What am I going to do with you?”
“Is this question rhetorical or a threat?”
How can a marriage that began so great
Fall apart and disintegrate?
How can he feel in control, and know just what to do,
When even modern medicine has no clue.
How can he leave me with strangers, to keep me out of danger?
For every move, do I need to ask permission?
Can we accept our new roles and limitations?
Has PD brought out the worst in both of us?
Are we just a fall away?
Am I just a fall away from losing my freedom?
Is he just a fall away from being free from me?
Well done! Though I can still 'hear' you reading it!
I like the way you've sharpened this from the earlier draft. It makes the point more impactful
I found this very moving Alice, well done.
A powerful piece on vulnerability and relationships. Maybe reminds you why you fell for each other.
Well done. I feel the same way.
