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
