First everything is breathtakingly wonderful
you can’t stop thinking about her
you can’t get those thoughts of her out of your mind
you never imagined love could be like this
it has exceeded your every expectation
but, alas, at some point later
when the newness begins to wear off
when darkness creeps out of her soul and yours
everything begins to turn sour
and if married, you might find yourselves
in a divorce court hating each other
your fault or hers for the dissolution
of the once sweet relationship
pity how this scenario plays over and over
blessed or lucky are those
whose relationships never seem to sour.
Bob Boyd
