Death Do Us Part

No words needed

A bride on her wedding day
Usually adorned in white
Walks down the aisle
Adorned in black
A veil of red
With a ring of silver

The day she should cry tears of joy
Is the day she cries tears of pain
For the man she shall wed
Is not the man she desires

She reaches the alter
After what seems like years
She politely does as the minister asks
The audience believes she has expected her fate

The man in white asks her if she takes this man as her husband
She looks up at him with eyes full of tears
Pulls a knife from her bouquet of bleeding white roses
She whispers as she falls
"I do not"

Oh such mixed feelings! Reminded me of the day I was playing the funeral march (I was the organist) and then suddenly I saw a woman dressed in white........was the quickest fumbling ever to get the right (read happy) sheet music ready!

Life does not always pan out as the camera angle suggest......

Ouch! I feel really sad for this bride! It is horrible to be with someone you feel nothing for and this poem reflects that emotion well. I could imagine the whole thing and I couldn't help but to release a little gasp at the last line.
Keep it up,

Great poem about how love can't be forced, very heart broken and emotional, I don't know why, but I love the ending very dark and sad...great job
