Some see serenity in parity
Some seem open to disparity
An institution as old as the hills
Marriage is marked with unclarity
Some people unable to think straight
Champ at the bit, they just can’t wait
To make the mistake that seals their fate
Only to wake up when it’s too late
Worse-befallen are the ones who see
Right through their mate’s real he or she
And nevertheless, opt to go ahead
Further on folly upping the ante
“When we got married, things went worse”,
Say most people after they divorce
Success so scarce some call marriage
A miscarriage and a failed discourse
The ups and downs of married life
The rifts and shifts being so rife
Monologue the vogue, madness galore
Better no longer remain man and wife
Better unmarried and live on single
Than with the wrong type marry and mingle
If you are happy with unwedded life
Forget marriage. Resist the tingle!
Should you get married and then divorce
Beware not to sink yourself in remorse
It won’t be easy, but do cheer up
For a better life, you must change the course

The mind is a tricky thing,
It loves to remember what it had
It's afraid to mourn what it’s lost.
The heart is a tricky thing,
It loves to hold on to what it has,
It is afraid to let go of what’s remained broken or departed.
It’s within the heart and mind that becomes as Yin and Yang,
Two beats as one.
But, with a disruption
Rippling through they both become.
Mixed signals are given,
Emotions soar with unclarity.
That once it’s backed against the wall,
One breath is to remind it all.
The heart beats for one but has room for many more.
The heart cannot choose who it loves or loved.
The mind thinks for one but has room for so much more,
It’s within the mind that a breath must be taken,
For the heart grieves on what was lost
The mind knows the aspect of what was truly lost,
That though one chapter has ended, there is still more to begin.
