Pain of Marriage

After the laughter comes the pain
As if there is not much to gain,
Pain of marriage is more than joy,
As your life proceed like a toy,

Before,its like a dream comes true,
Faces brighten as two hearts glue,
But turned sour as time passes by,
Unfulfilled promise makes bride cry,

This romance is no longer rosy,
As it makes both lovers drowsy ,
Third party should not be condoled ,
As damaged heart is being consoled,

Hatred drums slowly for some one ,
Peace refuses to dance in the sun .
