Seven Sins Of Relationships Poem by Nell Sheridan

Seven Sins of Relationships
There are but, seven deadly sins,to any existingrelationship,
Yes seven sins, to be avoided, if you value your companionship,
Stay with me, whilst we list, factorsinhibiting emotional tranquility,
We shall begin, at one now,throughall the levels of ascendancy,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Do you speak? , with some regularity? , in-depth conversation a necessity,

If a verbal wall, surrounds your partner, tackle this one apathetically,

Lack of communication, leads to distance, within your sacred partnership,

Take some time, listen and learn, value your existingacquaintanceship,

Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

A negative emotion, thewrath jealousy, suggests treatment with compassion,
Understand your partner, these present issues, their insecurity in ascension,
Spend the time, reassure their needs, a lovedperson wont suffer insecurity,
When your done, tell them once more, watch them change from absurdity,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Now resentment, it begins small, yet grows so very rapidly,
It resurfaces, time and again, causing repeated acts so callously,
Control yourself, remember love, act within your confine,
It is but only, a small matter, no need for you to malign,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Are your expectations? , unreasonable? , by sheer factual definition,
Do you ask, far too much, perhapsexpectations need revision,
Could you yourself? , carry out, all which you ask flippantly,
Could you provide? , all expectations? , delivered with your sincerity,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Lack of time, too busy to notice, leads to an inevitabledisaster,
When everything else, is more pressing, your priorities you must consider,
Is your partner, just a fallback, or worth the continued effort,
When will you, have the time, those feelings you must assert,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Lack of affection, leaves both devoid, seeking other's attentions,
To express love, within interactions, the tender touch of affections,
Touch your partner, feel them too, live those intimate little moments,
Share the power, of human touch, lasting will be the remnants,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Not showing gratitude, is a sin, in anyone's book of rules,
The ungrateful, are poorly received, no one will long suffer fools,
Be very thankful, in every respect, don't be afraid of gratitude,
Mean your words, never belittle effort,make your partner feel valued,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Stubbornness now, our bonus sin, yes that makes number eight,
Noteworthy itself, a damaging force, certainly one to contemplate,
Set in ways, standing steadfast, yes so difficult to confront,
No compromise offered, by stubbornness, no point to any argument,
Love your partner, respect them, as you yourself require,
Love your partner, respect them, be someone they admire,

Now we're done, I ask you, do you love your partner as you require? ,
If the answer, is simply yes, are you someone they can admire? ...
