standing
on altar
they
said “greatest lovers united”
bejeweled
in ‘shiny stones’
later
to be thrown back
at
me in courtroom
my
obscured vision of love
i’m
stripped off your ‘lover’ title
how
did we get here? My love
from
singing together at our wedding
to
you playing at my funeral
trying
to put back the bricks
that
you once threw at me?
realization
struck you
when
I’m gone
your
efforts will go waste
but
dear you succeeded in saving your face
your
tears of regret won’t dry any sooner
my
love wasn’t an illusion
you
will share my tears
but
I wish you well
and
someone who will share those tears
