The Cold Wedding
I had the most horrible dream last night
About you
And her
It was your wedding
I was helping set up
Why was I doing that?
It was dark that day
Dreary
It looked like rain
I went home to change and fix my hair
But didn't have enough time
So I came back
Just the same as before
I stood in the back as she walked down the aisle
In a pink dress
Who wears pink to a wedding?
She stood up there at the altar
With you
And you looked
So
Sad
I realized that when the preacher asked
If anyone had objections
That I would have to speak
I couldn't let you end up with her
I couldn't stand to see you be with her
Unhappy
Forever.
So the parson spoke
And then so did I
I didn't care if the whole town in attendance hated me
I would rather have people hate me than see you unhappy
So I spoke
And you know what happened?
She laughed
That lady who I used to go to church with
And then that was that.
He finished and you two were married
But then, you disappeared
And everyone forgot about you
The only attention anyone paid was to you
That is not how a marriage should be
It's two people
Not one.
I made sure she didn't hate me
I didn't speak out because of her
I spoke out because of you
And how I hate seeing you unhappy
But all I could think about was you
And how you were doomed to an unhappy life
For the rest of your days
And then I woke up
Freezing
And not just because the temperature had dropped in our room
