All Jokes Aside

All Jokes Aside

A Poem by Alex Dissing

Relationships are like tectonic plates:
sometimes they shift,
and when they do,
it shakes the ground beneath you.
Realize that this is just a simile, though,
because you can’t be at fault
for settling in the fault zone.

It’s only human that we fall in love,
but when we do,
where exactly are we falling from?

A relationship
shouldn't be a leap of faith,
it should be a grasp of the right hands.
The lovely mystery
is sometimes hard to understand.
My answer to my relationship riddle
is not ground-breaking,
it's just me.

As silly as it sounds,
we’re all looking for someone who we can be comfortable being silly around.

I loved the first stanza. It's the perfect metaphor for what it's like to be in a relationship.
