the sheer diaphanous veil covered the bride's face she was suppressing tears not tears of joy but of sadness she had no choice in this marriage forced to don the white lacey dress slather on makeup and walk down the aisle and swear to marry a stranger and obey his every command

diaphanous
I left my whole life behind To be your companion Your words are often hurtful & unkind I’m slowly slipping into a bottomless canyon My life is not my own Since you make all the decisions This marriage makes me feel so alone I’m drowning under the weight of these impositions Walk a mile in my shoes Maybe then you’ll understand the gravity of my situation 7 billion people but it’s you I choose And yet there’s not the slightest bit of reciprocation I long for you to embrace & liberate my thoughts, my wants Or to a certain degree engage in discussion But the ambiguity of your response Holds me back from communication

Arranged Marriage
"Oh! 'Tis great grief, Wrought by fate's mischief; To pledge my love by some vow, Even when Cupid hasn't strung his arrow into his bow."

"To Pledge a Love". An Ode to Endogamy.
What its like to be a segment of salacious commodity ? OH YOU! beautiful fragment of fabricated chimera : enclosed ! trapped ! inside these avaricious periphery of pseudo rim.. The frangible bedizen of synthetic praxises.. What is the sentiment of being a trade off  legacy ? while the legitimate corroboration of the quid pro quo cant be found: yet to this lethal covenant of undesired commingle you are to be bound.. For have they hold the confinement so do they decide the Nemesis: To  succumb your esse to the dread of your ultimating youthful ****** pulp. And just like a marionette.. there are thee: concurring to cede for the felicity of those progenitors.. Immolating your notions and aspirations. vanquished by the fidelity.. Just to commence the relinquish. Just to cease the sentient. Oh YOU!! Just .another ...abiding flesh . Just. Another....forlorn bride.

Trammel
A SOLEMN thing it was, To see a woman white as can be, And wear, under forbidden bells of melody, Her hallowed gown of mystery. Such a timid thing to drop a life, Into the wedding's well; A well so bottomless, that it shall return - Eternity until.

Solemn
GOING to him? Pen the letter! Tell him of our glory days, When life was better - Before my soul was a haze. Tell him of my sorrow, During the Wedding grand - Just down the road to-morrow, Where the Doves shall land. Tell him of the quest, For mine own hand, My soul at rest - At the Wedding grand. Tell him before that night, To peace my pitiful plight, Cure all of my fright - From the Rich delight. He shall tell thee of my Seal, Of my chained hand, Of the soul he shall steal - From that wedding grand, Where fear was on her brow; And are you happy now?
