Bride of Mine
A Slightly Cynical Poem
When we were young she'd ask me
"Am I beautiful?"
And white lies sprang like lilies to my lips
"Am I beautiful?"
And white lies sprang like lilies to my lips
A little older and she'd say,
"Do you love me still?"
And habit would hold eloquence for feelings long since forced
Now, advanced in age, she asks
"Have the years been kind to me?"
And I can feel my tongue is chafing 'neath the constant pressure of my teeth
My tone falters, and the first dark note of incredulity spreads across her face
Farewell my bride, adieu
