WHY DO YOU MARRY?

For some, it’s a softer escape A flight from silence, not quite love As if a ring alone could mend a soul Bruised by too many “maybe tomorrows." To others, it’s help dressed in vows A lifeline tied to daily needs To fatten the pig at market day Turn union into means to feed. Some whisper “love” with shaky lips But love to them, what does it mean? Is it just sighs without the bills Or bait to catch a selfish dream? Why do you marry, tell me this If the night still bores you If you believe a wedding solves What truth and time refuse to fake?
