prisoners for life
Tomorrow, I will be walking down the aisle.
To say “I do”, to the man of my dream.
Yes, to promise eternity to my prison mate.
Seems it sounds weird but it is the truth.
Though it taste like honey, the truth is bitter like gall…
Tomorrow I will be putting on the cloak of matrimony…
Having cast the dress of single hood away.
I will be leaving my family, where peace runs endless
To a place I know not.
Love made me took the first step even though I see the rest of the staircase not.
Surreptitiously stealing glances at my husband to be, a man always on smiles.
Wondering if this look will stay till eternity, or if gradually, it will turn into a frown, sapping the life off my fragile heart.
