The words, the promises
the smiles, the roses___
what dream marriage this!
Come, be my guest
and watch me live nee exist
see my utopia turn so dystopic
He shouts, he screams
He abuses, at times even hits
He’s a man; but alas, no man
My patience tested to the hilt
heart still yearns, hopes, wishes
never knew when, how tide turned
With rose tinted glasses
I still look out for him
not realising he’s no more mine
Dreams turn nightmares
couples do decouple
when will I become free?
