We have nothing in common,
we have nothing to share,
Things to be done singularly,
Hardly ever in pairs.
Not much is talked about,
Yet we know how each feels,
Our love is a strong love,
Our love is for real.
Author notes
it would appear at times the only thing we have in common for the last 14 years is ourselves!

this tells me that a pair has been together for a very long time, have shared everything, talked , knows the things you like and dislike, this is a long lived love. A great read and alot said in so little writing.

I identify with this write - it is a real work - liked the simple style, merged with complex thoughts - gave this an overall twist that veils a bit the thoughts of the writer - leaves alot of room for various interpretations -

For some reason this brings to mind my grandparents who when they did live together never talked and didn't share a room (sleeping or awake!). After the youngest left home they didn't share home either.. but they are still married for some reason. Maybe they are only in love when they do not have to tolerate each other. My Grandad is kinda immature... never grew up and my gGranny, well, she is a mean woman! Perhaps it is a saftey measure that they keep distance there!
I enjoyed this write. Best wishes...

I thought this was a very good poem in that you got your message across very well. It seems there is a lot of emotions. I felt unhappiness and complacency if that makes sense? I feel sadness. I really liked your poem and I am very sorry you feel this way.
