Forever sat in silent darkness
and promised herself
she'd try to do better.
Fifteen years before she smiled
both inside and out
at the words "For as long as you both shall live."

She was Forever, and she took it personally.

When she came home one night and wondered,
Where was he? she thought of her friend
Betrayal who lived down the street.

She was Forever and quickly found resolve.

He came home through the door
of broken promises with a nicely wrapped package
of fallen love.
It was tied with a pretty bow of insincerity,
and he offered it with cold confidence.

She was Forever, and she enjoyed presents.

She sat in silent darkness
holding her gift
and promised herself
she'd try to do better.

After all, she was Forever,
and she'd given her word.

Oh how I love this!...An empty marriage, a woman in pain...Her feelings expressed so clearly by a man...Poignant and strong, this piece speaks volumes about emotional depth!...

nice, dude..

nicely done...
