Unbetrothed

Vows are binding promises each partner makes to God. 
Til post-traumatic stress disorder shows its ugly head  ~Quote by poet

No longer they were joined as one
The swell of her shackled ankle has gone
All that is left is hurt, two hearts disheveled
Cutting the ties so coarse mideviled

They danced together to the cante jondo
Romanced by guitars, baile the fandango
A thousand times they talked about tyng the ribbon
Fear and violent behavior, thoughts never given

The wind is the singer who sang the first song
Vibrant is she who sings her windsong
He'll find his way, without strife, she'll not be battered
Wars only make dreams of casalena shattered

The kind thoughtful man with whom she'd been engaged
Returned from battle laden with a vile bitterness he enraged
Drained dry of the milk of life's humanity
Now inflamed with a blind raging insanity

To a true prince she had vowed to wed
Transformed into a dastardly beast instead
As the man she loved pounds fists into the wall
She proclaims in God's name, I am now unbetrothed
