We stood face to face and said I do

Now I can barely look at you

Gentle hands flailing with hate

How did we come to this

Never would have guessed

This was our fate

    Enemies with the same last name hit me so hard!

  • Great stuff. Definitely important to know the people you're with.

    Good work. Shows that people must get to know each other on all plains before the vows are taken.

  • I love how you fit one-word lines into nonet format! Makes the ending of the poem impactful.
