something blue &
something borrowed;
something new &
and something white.
her family knew
that by tomorrow
her husbands truth
would come to light.
she thought that all her love
could balance out the pain,
but really this white wedding
was only for his gain.
he knew that with a marriage
he could win the game.
he’d earn the title “perfect husband”
& gain some sort of fame.
when suddenly blue bruises
appeared by his own hand.
that something blue was also new,
and given, but not borrowed.
and soon the joyful wedding,
turned into a funeral of sorrow.
