How sad for a loving relationship can only come about through trust. Often, when doubt is deep rooted, a relationship fades into never-never land. Well penned my friend, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

You are right, Nette....without trust the mind will not be assured of what we already have. Thank you for the visit, my friend, and happy weekend // paul

What a poignant and touching bite! This i think would resonate with many! A crumbling relationship, what floats beneath seems to always be doubts when so much is lost in translation! Pleasure reading this heartfelt poem! Sending you light always! Best wishes always

Paul, your short poem delivers a punch of reality through strong images about the way doubt slowly erodes the mortar binding a relationship together. Sad! Plaintive! So melancholy! Well done! Sending you blessings!

Well expressed…what should be true upholds the thought, but for the bitterness of trapped, crumbling, doubting…a sad place to be.

Indeed, it is a sad situation that we live in, especially the lack of motivation and many falling at the first hurdle/s. Regards // paul
