How to break up with a man who emotionally withdraws.

An obsessed rock climber
He's sexually timid and repressed.
He never initiates sex
It's hard to get him undressed.

He coldly withdraws
At the first sign of strife.
It kills good feelings
I don't want this in my life.

Surrounded by uneven rocks
Big drops and unlit stairs,
His house feels hostile.
In winter I don't dare.

Last night I sent an email
Kindly stating my concerns.
Like shouting into a void
I hope someday he learns.

I like your poem but doubt that he will learn, sad.

Maybe he's mildly autistic. My ex-husband was like that.

@Organist1

Good point. He wears rock climbing shoes everywhere. Strange.

@LiterateHiker Sounds familiar!!!

@LiterateHiker never know when you need to climb a rock…

This, surely, should be shared also to one of the poetry groups.
