Wedding Bells
Wedding day
Classic rings
Loving eyes
Hopeful gaze
Longing for
Meaningful days
A broken promise
Not fully broken
Chains of lies
Crushed today
Sun setting on
Winter days
Sun rising
On frequent
Summer days
All because
This wedding is done
A different way
White dress
No peeping!
Hopeful
Tears will
Appear
On our
Special day
Like a
Burst of
Joy
Running
Down
Your face
Hoping
That
That day
Will be
The start
Of many
more bright
Filled days
White dress
Black suit
Tradition! Tradition!
What the hell
Else am I supposed
To do?
Do I like this dress?
Does this make
Me look fat?
Hope
Fear
& trembling
I now know
How my grandmother
Felt
Is this man
Safe to live,
Be,
& breathe with?
What if the
Tables change?
& there is no escape?
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe….
Don’t let
Fear be the busy bee
Remember
What they said
Fear held her back
Like chains
Cemented into
The floor
“Break free my love!
Break free!
The past no longer
Has to be!”
So I step forward
In that white dress
Ready to embrace
The newness life
Has to offer
Because life doesnt
Have to be like
My past
My future is
So much brighter
If I allow it to be
