The Broken Vow

Poem about a newlywed woman who's spouse broke thier marital vows and was unfaithful..

To have and to hold
Or so I was told
The desecration of a vow
That lays broken now

Something borrowed?
Something blue?

I guess I was old 
And she was new

You said together forever
Our love would never severe
It's my fault really, it's true
My foolish heart said "I do."

self-deprecation and/or compliment with added humility ... all part of balance
this write has all three not in beat down but as clarity
i'm not much for rhyming structured verse but this offering is so balanced
i could not let it pass without comment
well done

Very rough around the edges holds true for those Man Kicked to the curb by their Wife of Twenty Years.

This is direct, contained, kind of bare bones that lays bare the breaking of a most sacred oath. It hit me with it being somewhat unadorned but eloquent all the same
I think very nicely done. A good write.

[Jessalynn]

[Bohrium Guy]
