When does it get better
When do people start talking to each other
Loving more instead of
Contemplating divorce
When does it get easier
When does the husband start putting his spouses
Needs above his
Knees
Should start to get calloused
From thanking God
Repeating the inexpressible beauty that he created
His wife
Loves him and makes him coffee even when they fight
Because it's right
And she knows
That when he goes to the pot and it's empty
He would explode
So they sit
In silence
Instead of prayer
There
Are bits of their marriage holding on by a thread
Clinging to each other like spiders webs
In their bed
Only one sleeps at a time
Her mind
Crawls with doubt
Digging up what was planted in faith
She takes away the good things
And leaves no room to make
Changes
She does away with completely
When does it get better
When will affection be more desirable than pleasure
When will we want to grow together
When will we stop being self centered
Fix our eyes on something different
Where no lies can exist
That crucifix
Took it all so
When does it get better
?
