This is what happens to most of the couples in their fifties. Though their social media accounts says otherwise. People need to avoid this trap.

After travelling long

On a tortuous path

Things start to turn

Dull and stale

Mornings begin with

Tasks for the day

Nights in fights

Over endless delays

As they sleep

Back to back

A gentle snore

Can shake them up

Cute funny ways

Of courting days

Now start to feel

Really obnoxious

The pink goes out

Grey settles in

Winter insidiously

Spreads over life

Trying to salvage

Pieces of life

One gets to know

Love’s flown away

Taking it’s place

Sympathy at best

And at the worst

A plain disgust
