The safety of security
No risk or thrills
The love fades to a companionship
that lacks connectivity
I chose for companionship
early on
yet not wanting a physical relationship with it
But I started to doubt myself
and wondered if I was afraid
of letting my body succumb
to a person that had a part of my heart
But as we tried to make it work
it kept crumbling like a poorly made stack of cards
The physical part of our relationship never came to fruition
despite all of our tries...
My partner suffers from me wanting someone else
And as much as I try,
I can't fight this feeling that there is someone waiting for me...
as much as it seems stupid
it doesn't feel right, like I belong,
just a body to me...
Even though my partner has seen me thru thick and thin
my body yearns for another
If you love someone romantically, the physical part is one of the best things,
but that has never happened,
so we have love, yet not complete...

I love the second verse it fills a void that very much needs to be filled in so many poems, but is forgotten about.
Goodluck in the contest!
Much love,
