Wedding Day
Through thick and thin,
Through sickness and health,
Till death do us apart;
We would’ve made such promises
On our wedding day.
I would’ve sworn to the Lord,
To be yours for eternity
And you’d just be mine.
It would have been the best day
But after the vows were exchanged
And your eyes flickered with remorse
I knew that nothing could save our love,
Not once more.
So before you could say “I do”
Without meaning a word of it-
I closed my eyes and whispered softly
“If you wish to go,
You should go.”
You frowned, confused
Yet I could see the glint of hope in your eyes,
And then with a nod you walked away
Away from me and what we had
As you were about to leave
All I could wish for
Was that you’ll turn back once
Even if it was to just to reassure yourself
That I had meant what I said
But when you did not
Care enough to
Spare one last glance
I was left at the alter
Attempting to gather the pieces
Of my heart that,
I’d let fall apart.
It wasn’t his fault,
But mine.
He gave the signs,
I chose to ignore.
I could hear people talk,
Discreetly looking my way.
Crestfallen I stood at the alter,
While they all questioned
My sanity.
What they didn’t know,
Was that we were forever doomed.
I had been foolish,
Trying to keep the relationship intact
Which had been demolished,
A while ago.
If you love someone
You set them free
I cared about your happiness
I realize now,
It just wasn’t with me.
