On the brink of wedding-cliffs,
I clung to my pals.
Yet the grip loosened
as their nuptial rings clasped their hearts
in a wound-tight hold
leaving me aloof on the summit
with nothing to hold onto,
or to wrap around my finger.
The dialing tone
to my long-distance pals
was hung up by the soft coos.
While the clock inside me
ticked and tocked
amidst the chaos of my neighborhood.
I wish my pals had dragged me
off the wedding-cliff,
just to silence the words spilling
from my chaotic mind
onto this page.

What struck me was the feeling of being left alone as others paired up. Now the odd man out one does not fit any longer and the despair of being left behind. Well done.
