Until Death Do Us Part

Until death do us part, or so they say.
Until death do us part, was supposed to mean something - when it was declared on our wedding day. Those words, apparently were untrue.
For you left me, without a trace or even a clue.

I then found out why this was the case.
You left me, for a different face.
I found myself in disbelieve. Then again I felt a small amount of relief.
For a long time, I noticed that you were unhappy with me.
But there was a part of my soul that hoped that this would last for eternity.

What a shame, for I was fooling no one but myself.
In my case, until death do us part - has now been put into an empty shelf.
I feel betrayed, for you said you loved no one but me.
But, it seems as though that was a lie and I can now set you free.
Until death do us part....I can't deny that I hate, that those words no longer include me.

Oh how sad it is that our relationship has now come to an end.
I guess, until death do us part, has now gained another friend.

Nowadays it is more applicable to say "till divorce do us part". Lifetime partnerships are gradually becoming extinct
