Feel like a stranger at home <br /> <br />Alone though married <br /> <br />Guards up, sabers drawn <br /> <br />Ready to duel <br /> <br />Till first blood drawn <br /> <br /> <br />Long vanished is the hope <br /> <br />That marriage <br /> <br />Will be a sanctuary <br /> <br />That nourished the soul <br /> <br />Instead despair made a permanent home <br /> <br /> <br />Past expectations blind <br /> <br />To the beauty of what could be <br /> <br />Chasing the chimera <br /> <br />‘Who we married years ago’ <br /> <br />Is fatal as death can be <br /> <br /> <br />Pulling in different directions <br /> <br />Evolving parallel lives <br /> <br />Alone in their misery, united in strife <br /> <br />It takes two to get married <br /> <br />And just one to see, how lonely it can be!<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-stranger-at-home/
