Marriage

I look at you and I don't want you Stopped needing your kiss and touch Needed you to love me for me Tried to get you to do your part Make memories and cherish those made Buried in depression Covered in guilt and pain Still I stayed Looking for a way out Wanting to be anywhere but here Going across the bridge I want to drive off Fly into the sky Fall into the river below 'Til death do us part

This poem is extremely emotional. I'm sitting here saying, "No, don't!" May God continually bless you and keep you and those you adore. Take care!
