This poem beautifully captures the complexity and rawness of emotions in a relationship that’s struggling. Your words bring such a powerful sense of vulnerability—it’s as if each line pulls back another layer, revealing how overwhelming it can feel when efforts go unnoticed and when expectations clash. The imagery of suffocation and grounding evokes that exhausting cycle of blame and self-reflection. I admire the honesty in acknowledging shared faults and the pain of feeling both unheard and misunderstood. This line, “Do I do this? Nitpick and fret to no end? While only looking out and not in?” is particularly poignant, showing self-awareness that’s often hard to express. Thank you for sharing this—it’s a courageous, relatable expression of love, frustration, and resilience.

Also, I ADORE YOU 💕
