What's to come?


He sang a song on my lips. 
We weren't kissing but we were inevitably close: 
Our first door slamming, voice raising, angryily driving argument; how romantic-ized. 
I could taste the passion on his breath with each word he whispered in his melodic, off-tune fashion, 
And I prayed the flavor of his tune would never taste of liquor- 
After our seventy-third yelling match, 
I prayed he would still mouth the same words of the same sweet song with the same sincere intentions on my much to manage yet yearning lips.  
I hoped and prayed and I did believe, 
But remained afraid,
And weeped for the sake of timely, inevitable, change.
