    Marriage

    Marriage

     

    The thought of it made me smile

    until I frowned, cried

     

    No longer friends, enemies

    What happened to the love

     

    Was it ever present

    Maybe

     

    Was it fabricated

    Maybe

     

    For better or worse

    What if worse came first, and it never got better

     

    Is my heart suppose to suffer because we took those vows

    Stay unhappy because we have kids

     

    I left for the kids, yes I did

    How can I be all they need me to be, unhappy

     

    Your secrets wounded me

    Had me thinking love wasn’t for me

     

    Engaged to new habits and friends

    Because my world had been turned upside down

     

    I packed my things and walked away

    You wanted me to stay but the pain was excruciating

     

    Forced into an unknown journey

    Not knowing my final destination

     

    Took years to restore me

    Fish scales covered my eyes

     

    Afraid of the woman in the mirror

    Nothing seemed clear

     

    Until…the day I met me

    A woman who had died and fought for her life

     

    Purposely driven to a finish line

    Only to start another race in time

     

    No more negativity

    Outweighed by the positive

     

    Finally believed in treasures after a rainbow

    even if it takes a lifetime to get it, optimistic

     

    The love I have for me cannot be measured

    nor altered

     

    I will only vow my heart and my soul to my creator

    The one who keeps me sane, whole.

     

    Until he has a match perfectly fashioned for me

    I remain, optimistic.

    PERFECTLY SAID!!! I WONDER WHY WE SHOULD SMASH OURSELVES UNDER THE WEIGHT OF A FRUITLESS AND A LOVE-LACKING MARRIAGES: A SHEER WASTE OF TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR TRUE LOVE AWAITS YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!

    thank u, im glad u enjoyed it

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
