Mind Gone Wild

MIND GONE WILD “I need somebody to love” “My first name is somebody” “Where is my favorite girl?” “I’m right here sweetie” He smiles “Do you take this man here, To be your wedded husband” Of course who wouldn’t? His turn, he said yes too And added, “Always and forever” I blushed “Then by the power vested in me I pronounce you Man and wife You may kiss the bride” My lips were burning Then there came his There was an explosion Father Ben, man and wife all died I had to do it He wasn’t marrying me He wasn’t marrying just any girl But my sister I will have to see him everyday I couldn’t take it I did what I had to I cried far more than everyone I was really sad But not sorry At the burial I threw the first handful of sand I heard a finger snap I looked up and saw him Looking handsome and smiling wildly I hugged him and he smiled And whispered into my ear “Will you be my date to prom? You aren’t imagining it” he smiled How could he tell? His cousin was taking Liz, my sister I felt a delicious jitter inside Of course, was my reply The lips were burning Father Ben said Maybe too loudly “You may kiss your prom date.” This time as the lips clashed There was no explosion Just an eruption Not a volcanic eruption But an eruption of affection.
