Poem: No Action

I never envisioned this ending
I never envisioned this strife
Guess I was a fool in pretending
That you and I bonded for life

But we never worked on our problems
We let the days go as they went
And whenever we had our long talks
It just gave us a reason to vent

There wasn't a change in the making
There wasn't a move to evolve
No steps that we both were taking
To help our issues resolve

If we never acted on anything
If we both shut down inside
Then of course our dreams lay dormant
We were stuck on the same old ride

If only we both took action
Or at least if one of us tried
Then maybe we'd still be together
And my heart wouldn't drown when I cried
