A Day of Promises

In the back of a hall, silence falls,

everybody breathes, holding onto the light,

her dress sways, whispers bounce off the walls,

flowers tucked gently, smiles all bright.

The scent of lilies entwined with smoke,

together with laughter, it dances in the air,

yet here I sit, a heart split and broke,

watching her spin, caught in the fair.

They exchange rings, a promise so bold,

I shift in my seat, feeling layers of fate,

as secrets unfold, her joy to behold,

while I’m tucked away, lost in a weight.
