I used to dream of this moment.
I rehearsed it every day,
In the quiet places of my heart,
Even on days when I felt like it may never come.

But along the way, I learned that marriage, to you,
Is a tunnel with no light, not even at the end.
A maze you walk in,
Searching for an exit that never seems to come.
A road you walk only because life says you must.

And now I am standing here,
In what should have been the most beautiful moment of my life,
Knowing that the home we hoped to build,
the family we dreamed to bear,
Is a storm you still have no shelter from.

I can't be the reason you dwell in a place you have forever despised, till death does us apart.

You don’t have to do this. #PoetryNights #RunawayBride
