Why do people get married? Really! Why even bother? Hopes and dreams These, all couples share - A hope for a better future But after "I do ", hopes and dreams turn into Expectations. Instead of love and passion Instead of nurture and care We're held in a debt/debtor state Until the end of our future You said, you promised... Nothing unconditional here! No better than borrowing from the bank, Held to imagined debts. Love ceased. Love died. Love made way for a contract - a sword of expectation Forgiveness is highly conditional extended perhaps once, every 5 blue moons Instead, let's keep all transgressions in a special treasure chest Instead of that love ******** Let's refuse to forgive instead of together building a nest Let's allow hatred to fester

Marriage
