All the best

All the best

A Poem by Alexander143
"

A distressed mother gives her only son in marriage.

"
All the best.


This is it. You've made up your
mind.
Today, you're leaving me.
Silently, you've vowed not to look
behind-
Untill the dawn of eternity.

Hesitantly, I walk you into the
other woman's world.
Slowly, you loosen the grip of my
hand.
My time is over. I can hear that
even though you utter not a
single word.

I watch you walk away eagerly,
but I don't stop you cuz I
understand.
It hurts me that my company you
forsake me with the very words
that her you take.

You glance into her eyes and see
the whole world.
A world that only thinks it knows
who you are?
No, the world; your world, is
what stares at you from my view,
she's just another bumpy road.

I loved you with my all.
I chose to have and to love you.
I loved you before you were.
You'll always be a part of my
soul.
Nobody but God, can love you
more than I do.

An elegant companion, you stand
before her,
Adorned in that fine tailored suit.
You're wonderful cuz the texture
of the perfume you wear can be
felt from afar.
It's amazing, but I could see so
much more in you when all you
had was your birthday suit.

I master enough strength to look
on.
As I wonder why you chose to
break my heart in public.
In the multitude amidst which you
tear my heart, I feel alone.
Your departure dooms me to a
life of misery, I can't know pride
with a heart this weak.

Tears creep out through my eyes
from my soul's bother-
And glide down my undecided
face.
The edges of my wordless mouth
repel from each other.
That one kiss before many spells
the gravity of my loneliness.

You've been there for me.
You've been my brother, you've
been my friend.
You're my family,
The supportive pillar on which I
could always depend.

But even if I hate to watch you
leave.
I can't keep you any longer.
You've got to go on.
I taught you to, but now, it's my
turn to give.
So, farewell, I hope you enjoy
your marriage, my only son.


Keep Smiling

This has such vivid emotion and great theme. The love between lovers is overdone on this site, even by me. The love between mother and child, not so much.

I love this style of writing. Great job!
