If You'Re In A Committed Relationship Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If you're in a committed relationship,
Ensure it stays strong.
But don't feel you have to stick stucked to it,
If there is something you feel is wrong.
Many who do this slowly turn off,
To never turn on and soon are gone.

If you're in a committed relationship,
To want it strengthened after a petty argument...
Fine!
At least you are not feeling devoted to confinement.
However...
If you find your behind climbing from the floor,
With a busted lip after being stunned by two thrown fists...
By someone who apologizes for the doing of it,
To then expect you to be passionate with the kissing of lips...
This is NOT the kind of relationship one should wish.
And the opportunity to run away from this and quick,
Should not be a consideration.
Unless one has agreed to compete and enjoys getting beat.

If you're in a committed relationship,
Ensure it stays strong.
But don't feel you have to stick stucked to it,
If there is something you feel is wrong.
Many who do this slowly turn off,
To never turn on and soon are gone.
And others who become punch drunk...
Become addicted to the passionate kisses,
With the heated sex that comes next.

'Honey...
I think the neighbors are listening to us.'

~You were the one who wanted to take this 'outside',
Remember? ~
