A Marriage Confessional

I too, have married

in a tempest

I found her and she me.

We both hid from

lightning and hail.

I showed her my demons-

she, hers to me.

We agreed to

face these challenges –

united.

Then new challenges came –

a beautiful one.

We thought we rose to it-

then another

and another.

Now, my demons are coming out faster.

I am facing them,

but not that well.

My inner wall that contained them

has been breached.

My outer wall crumbling fast.

Others are starting to see it,

but with the help of your strength,

I can conquer them.

Sweetheart, please don’t leave –

I can’t face them alone.
