How Was I To Know
How Was I To Know?
I realized a mistake was made
The moment the music played
Emotions, conditions, circumstances
Were not thoroughly weighed
But the piper was paid
Vows said…that
Should have been delayed
A curse on a heart betrayed…
His true nature had yet to show
Ugliness, anger began to grow
Uncharted emotions began to flow
Brewing on the surface...
And just slightly below…
This relationship
Came on too soon
On a crooked clock
Broken slightly past noon
This was supposed to be
The time of my life?
I should have said no
But…
How was I to know?
(True story
My wedding nightmare
Realized a little too late
Remedied six months later
Be careful with your heart
Trust that little voice inside you)
