Marriage!!

Here we go again

Cursing our lives mundane

Not seeing, not caring

That the truth sits right here

In our faces

Staring.

You said this

I said that,

You Vs Me

A never ending spat

It goes on

From day to day

Wearing us down

And slowly we drown

In an abyss of our own despair!

The misplaced glee at the other’s misery,

The force of our anger,

The weight of our agony,

Engulfs us, surrounds us,

Extracts from us,

Its bloody price.

And then suddenly,

Out of nowhere,

Without a whisper,

Without an inkling,

A smiles teases to escape,

To break free,

A breath of fresh air.

To Freedom,

We grope,

The smile, it beckons,

To Utopia,

A memory ,of good things, of warmth,

You pull at it,

I lunge for it,

And here we are again,

In lives arcane,

Tied together by hope,

By love, by marriage,

Our very own acrobatic

Tightrope!
