Is it worth drowning?
“You look so darn pretty” he said in a voice that wasn’t his
and if she allowed her mind to go there she would start to wonder
but too much trouble spent on mistrust and lie-seeking
leads one to feel more like a detective than a partner.
Time passes and feelings fade
But it threatens to pull them under
just the same.
They watch a special on TV about a giant catfish
163 pounds, would not want to wrestle this beast -
But somehow they ended up with that assignment.
This war should have never been
the battle lines were clearly drawn
Leave the fish alone
He was happy before you came along.
In the trenches the true test becomes
knowing when to stay and fight
and when to let it all slip away.

You said it. I never thought about it in terms of fishing, but that’s a really good way to put it.
