Cold Feet

This is about a woman who is getting married but wasn't ready for it.

Clink goes the glass

Chandelier so clear

 

 

Reflecting pure propriety

And in glistening eyes

Pure fear

 

 

Diamonds on the fingers

Dresses all in lace

 

 

Hide the "I do" fear

Hidden in the face

 

 

Fear blushes up her cheeks

They say "Wedding bliss"

 

 

The devel contract is signed

With an after "I do" kiss

Kinda reminds me of "Speak Now" by Taylor Swift. I love the artwork, by the way. And I love your poem. You know how to keep the reader interested.
