Moments of Misery

Through the magnifying glass 
of hatred and jealousy 
She watches the bride carefully
From head to toe through the eyes
of pain and agony
The white gown makes her bite
her nails angrily 
She's within herself 
living in memories 
of a man whose kisses 
turned into bites suddenly 
A man whose hands became 
thorns hurting cruelly 
A man who is marrying her 
best friend happily 
Oh how long these moments 
of misery
