Where's the Romance?
When was the last time that you reached out and
touched me?
When was the last time that you said you love me?
And I'm stopping you?!!
When was the last time that you kiss me all over,
laid your head on my shoulder
Am I stopping you?
I'm still waiting for the passion, when you
make love to me
There's hardly any when I'm in you
There's hardly any orally.
Am I to needy
Or did my ears deceive me?
I could have sworn,
when I met you,
You said you were freaky.
Maybe I'm the problem,
I don't think I turn you on
Sometimes I feel like if I left it up to you,
I would be sleeping alone.
Love and making love is two separate things
I'm trying to let you love me
So quit blaming the ring.
You know every time I touch you
You tell me to leave you alone
You me slap me hard or brush me off
Is that the love you condone?
You are a different type of woman
One I don't understand.
After making love there ain't no cuddling
or holding hands.
So what's a brother to do?
Ain't no romantic in you.
Why won't I let you love me?
You better ask yourself that same thing boo!
I love you
Now ask yourself
Do you love me?
Who loves who the most?
Well let's stand back and see.
Plenty of love, besides what's in our pants
So I ask this question,
Where is the Romance?

It's always sad when the romance in a relationship sputters and dies, I hope you can revive it. I liked the honesty in this poem, it was very real, and sincere. I think you did a great job on this. Thanks also for commenting on my story, too.

this is a very emotional poem. After a love has been for a while it sometimes will grow dormant or cold of romance.
Keep the writng..and never loose faith in love. -
awww cute
i dont know where you are in your life, and relationship.. but here's a little insight to where i am. I'm 26 - engaged to my fiance since 1997 (read that again, 1997) so we're basically common law - married. anyhoo.. we were together for two years in HIGHSCHOOL, before i got pregnant. so now we're going on our 10th year together with a seven year old. Young and yet old in many ways. Life is tough.. After this many years and a kid and bills... i ask the same question... where's the romance???? i yearn for it too.. i try to teach him ways of giving it (incase he was never taught) it's weird to see it coming from the man this time.. actually cute even.. and it was sometimes hard thinking of his feelings while reading your write.. like i said.. i dont know what's going on, or why your boo is trippin... but i hope it works out. don't give up on her.. (i think) unless you have to.. o'course.. anyway.. peace, love n happiness

"Love and making love is two separate things
I'm trying to let you love me
So quit blaming the ring."

wow, impressive write, love how you kept pretty good flow in this (that's a big thing with me I guess ) as well as the emotion, great write

I really enjoyed this poem a lot. Sometimes in a realatonship your feeling get in the way of the romance. Maybe it's something she's thinking about that has her being very distant. It could be that dhe feels as though she isn't being true to you. Or she may feel as though you aren't being true to her. I can relate to this problem because I've been THERE. So good luck.
