Is Love Enough.. Poem by Annette Aitken

Is Love Enough..

Rating: 5.0


Is Love Enough.




Is love enough.?

When trust is dying.

Online, whats app, then denying.?


I leave the room and go to bed

there's niggling inside my head

I check my phone and there he is

Online, whats app, messaging


He hadn't noticed me at first

then got a fright when I appeared.

Chucked down his phone, the look of fear.

Online, whats app, messaging.


Returned to bed I check again,

Yep! There he is online again.

Moments later he comes on up,

I check once more, no sign is up.


I couldn't sleep, my stomachs sick

I don't understand what this kind of love is.

My trusty, my lover, my best friend, no other.

A love once shared, lies now in the gutter.

'My trusty, my lover, my best friend, no other. A love once shared, lies now in the gutter.' the death of trust is so often painfully the death of everything

Trust is the food of love. Without it love withers as resentment grows. This is a powerful piece, Annette. You have expressed your situation very well indeed. Tom

A beautifully straightforward statement of the pain caused by betrayal and the denial of love.

My trusty, my lover, my best friend, no other. A love once shared, lies now in the gutter. A very painful experience expressed in simple words. love, trust, faithfulness, joy of being in love- - all these have become foreign words in the life of many in the present day. values change, ideas change.. thank you for this poem.. tony
