Wow! I love it! Powerul words. Nice rhyming. The "funny farm" took me by surprise, I don't think it's he best fit - I know you are looking for rhyming words which is challenging to do - but the whole poem is great! I really like the last couple of lines.
Best of luck with your writing piece!

Whoa, this is heavy! You have written a piece that I hope, finds you some peace. It is sad that you are still together, but mine is not to judge. You have your reasons, as we all do, to stay in an unsatisfactory relationship. The poem is very well written and tells the story well of how you began, and then began to unravel, as time rolled on. I love your flow, meter, and the choice of form for this piece. The rhyme scheme is well done. My favorite line is in the fourth stanza, line 3 which says, "He went into rages in different phases," the internal rhyme is excellently scribed, and the meaning is explained nicely in this particular line. I love it all, though, and have given you a sixer, because I believe you have deserved it, not only for how you wrote but, for what you chose to write about. Your honesty is almost disarming if, I couldn't relate to it so much. I have been where you are talking about in many different relationships. And, as you say in your Author's notes, Narcissistic people won't seek help, and if they do, they don't work on their side of the issues. They blame everyone but themselves. Brava for writing this revealing story, in the form of a poem.
Take care, Jesse

    My serenity is from indifference. I?m not a ?cold? person, but it?s the only way I?m able to escape the heartaches of the situation every day. It?s almost impossible to deal with feeling unloved. Heartfelt wishes for your
    Situation. Thanks so much for your warm and kind review.
    Hugs, Trisha

    Hello Trisha
    I am so sorry for the heartaches you must escape every day. Yes, it is hard to deal with feeling unloved. My situation is over, and I have been living alone for many years. I long to feel loved. You are so welcome for the warmth and kindness I send your way.

How quickly lust can slip into a hurtful, demeaning situation. Impossible to get out of except for the very brave. Sometimes too many people will be hurt by the breakup, so couples stay together for the sake of others. You learn ways to cope. Not a good way to live a life.
You say all of this beautifully in your poem. You even manage to make it rhyme.
Sounds autobiographical. I hope not. Good job. I am out of six stars or you would definitely have one.

A very well-written poem about the confusion of love sets in when the passion fades and the lovers have to learn to know each other and live together in peace become a daily struggle because their personalities are complete opposites left two unhappy people forced to live together.

Hi, Trisha,

It is so sad when mental illness causes these types of problems. It is hurtful to the victim the most - because they can see and feel what is going on. The person who needs help lives in their own insularity world and they have no idea of how much pain exists.

Thank you for sharing this well-written poem - the artwork was a lovely touch,

~patty~

    Patti unfortunately this is personal and I don?t think he?s any happier either. We?re just old fashioned about splitting. I really appreciate your caring review,

You have written a sad story/poem that just aches for the abuser to find help and counseling. I have a feeling this is a real situation you have described... especially after reading your notes. I am hoping for the best.

Wow!... Excellent
I believe alot of women feel exactly this way. And there are.SO many women who need to hear this. It puts so much in perspective.
Resentments, blame and communication breakdowns...very deep and fundamental viewpoint much needed to be heard! Great job.

Good poem structure, but I didn't like the message, as it was one-sided and accusatory. But the poem flowed well and had a nice rhythm.Thanks for sharing.

    I have my faults and and I write from my heart, isn?t all poetry one sided? I I appreciated you reading it,
reply by Six-Star Writer on 10-Jan-2019
    No, just as with relatioships, poetry isn't always one sided.
