I
Can See
You
And me
Enjoying
The life.
You
Can see
You and Me
As man and wife.
Your dad said
To me
That
Marriage
Ain't just fun.
You have
Girl,
I have
Gun!

Form: Verse
Nagging mate
framing blame in accusations
Beliefs fed on
self deception
Pressure valves bursting
Calm reason hijacked
No loveseat reception
Words peel off
unfiltered
unschooled
unheard
through spent thoughts
of love
complications in
a jagged code of conduct
Toxic infusion
a mate's cactus grin
desert prickly
an "I do" wasteland
Banter
burly
bitter
black icing on a wedding cake
ditched
shifting possibility
