Elation
Excitement
Exuberance
Full of starry eyed glee
Seraphims
Sunshine
Sanctity
Feeling whole and complete
Complacent
Conforming
Committing
Becoming two as one
Dreaming
Discovering
Developing
A deep and meaningful bond
Tedium
Tantrums
Tirades
Nights of anger and tears
Bickering
Blaming
Belligerance
A mountain of growing fears
Isolation
Indifference
Independence
The bond no longer strong
What started out so happily has now become so wrong.

Enjoyed the stepping down Lisa. Love your versatilities
Thanks to everyone else for the flowers
Hey Tom. I didn't think I had a poem in me at the time. I think we can all relate to falling in and out of love. Not just with a person, but with anything in our lives.
Adam, perhaps I should have put hand rails up. Some of those steps down are pretty big.
Thank you both for the comments
Lisa,
The movement across the page really feels like falling...I was kind of afraid of the end before I got there.
Hi Lisa, this is really effective; it left me reeling a little. It's so authoritative that (if not for the final line, personalising it somewhat) I'd think you were making a statement about all relationships.

Leon, thank you so much. What a wonderful compliment.
Mae, many thanks to you as well. Someday I will try those structured poems you all are working with now. Great job.
Dorothy, thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
