Love Is Not Enough

I was not put here

to be ruled.

By one human being through

the bonds of marriage.

I have my own thoughts and beliefs,

he has his.

There is no right or wrong

in a situation as this.

There is only a difference

of personalities.

Forcing one’s ideas on another

only leads to hatred.

Surely some mutual understanding

can be reached!

If not–we were then not meant

to be one.

Accepting this is hard

as accepting defeat.

Is it really defeat

 or egotistical pride that

won’t let us go our

separate ways?
