To be or not to be?

Straining at the seams
To be us
Groaning under the weight
Of us
Is it really better
To bend
Than to break?

This is most thoughtful and beautifully expressed in so few words. Perhaps breaking relieves the tension better than bending.

Hey, there! Welcome here, and thanks for the comment.
I agree – if a relationship becomes so very stressful and weighs on you all the time, it might be better to break than to bend any more…
U amaze me! Such thoughtful take on the prompt!
