Marriage Is A Snake Bite


Encompassed by darkness, From memories of a shattered life, Constant hate from a once beloved wife. Broken promise and cracked dream, Ripped apart from seam to seam. Consoled by someone other than I, To this day not even a glimpse as to why. Numb from the poison that was your pride, Quickly spreading every time you lied. Your venom soon took over my mind, Controlling every action as if I was blind. Now your poison has consumed my soul, What can I do, now that your in full control. Your poison has paralyzed my thoughts, Your venom has disrupted all I was taught. All that is left, is you watching me rot. The blinders I had called love for Mrs. Right, Was just a Serpent with a Deadly Snake Bite.
