Marriage is a joke

Marriage is a joke.

Under moonlight we spoke of an exchange of new sensations;

In the secrets of loves code, we created a conversation.

Into a series of unknown’s, we allowed ourselves to fall

And all in the hope of finding ourselves in love.

Musicians know the score is strumming my pain away.

If a she-devil wants to take me for a ride, then I shall happily go.

We are all lonely on the inside and waiting for just one big day;

Congratulations to you all!  I shall raise a toast!

To the bride and groom;

Let their love be doomed!

To the drunk father of the bride; have another drink!

To the best man!  The worst of us all.

Get on with it, we need to consume,

This terrible food the groom’s mother has made.

What is this?

Is this really true love?  It will never last.

I give it a month before they are creeping behind your back.

Again she smiles, in denial,

Like she did when she first lied, on the day that you first met.

Now she is losing you from her memory; a drink and kiss takes it all.

She could have stayed with you,

But the more you do, the less is said.

A regular in a pub and a regular in love.

The last time you truly loved, it broke your heart, remember that?

Oh look there is your new love, being asked to dance;

Put a slow record on, get nice and close

And forget the love that you have.

She wants new things;

New lovers and a new reason to smile.

So your love is no more

And this thing you have always believed in, will only last a little while.

Beauty is forever fading and it will soon die.

In the days of our lives,

People always do as they please and they are empty on the inside.

You will never find true love, no matter how many times you try.

The phone rings…the lie stings…

I hope you live a long and bountiful love life.
