Not titled this...

Bride to Be:

Oh how could he do this to me?

I trusted him undoubtedly!

Now I lie upon the grass

Hoping one day a man will pass,

And steal my heart from my chest.

So I can escape this god awful mess

 

 

Fiance:

My heart is trapped inside,

A woman of a common kind.

Continually forced to pay the fee,

Of dealing with those bound to flee.

I swear I could give her all she needs,

the complete effect of fantasy.

But I would be remiss.

In not mentioning her recent fear to kiss.  

 

Bride to Be:

I am a wallowing bride to be

Wallowing in misery

A month ago surrounded in bliss

Until he had to take that risk

All because he heard a scream,

Trailing from a crimson stream.

 

Fiance:

My face is cut and torn to shreds,

And now my love won't be wed.

I only did what I thought was best.

Yet I was surely led to loneliness.

I heard a scream from down the street,

And so I immediately took to my feet.

Saw the face of a woman scorned,

And a man who saw fit to leave me adorned
