To love one another, Till death do us part, Forsaking all
others…

A life time of love?
A lifetime is a long, so very long time
And what sun shines in purgatory
When the love runs out?

passions meet, vows betrayed,
betrayal undressed for all to see
friendship, trust, respect all blown to pieces
pain blotting out reality, why and how
Something so wonderful has
Turned to utter darkness and despair?

Forsaking all others?
If I care to see another sunrise,
The smile of a child…I must…
But yet I pray it be the death of me.

I don't remember agreeing to this,
Did I prick my finger when I signed my name
for surely we did this in God's name?

Till death do us part?
Does that mean that when your
pain filled eyes finally blankly stare skyward
and your heart beats no more
I shall look to heaven and thank God
For his mercy?

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my last breath to take

OUCH!...this one has some serious bite to it.
I can honest say I've shared in this feeling to the fullest extent. You have my every sympathy/empathy. Cutting piece, nicely done.

Is all that we see or seem
