In a relationship
Many things should become
Easier with someone there
But we’ve come to
An uphill slope
That is steeper than it seems
And maybe never ending
But I try to keep going
One foot in front of the other
And climbing over debris
Sometimes you’re with me
And other times I am alone
I guess I will wait and see
If you have stuck with me
Until the summit or if
You have given up back down the road
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – slope
That is the true test, isn’t it! That they will stick with us through the difficult part of the journey.
