For Better, Not For Worse

Why must they fight?
They should be holding hands.
Instead, they punch each other.
Why must they curse?
She used to whisper three tender words,
but now she screams, “I hate you!”
Why must they distrust?
He comes home late at midnight
even though his work ends at five.
Why must they argue over money?
Their hearts should be enriched with love,
not greed.
Why must they forget their vows?
Their symbolic rings become meaningless
and the diamond loses its luster.
Why must I witness all of this?
God, please show them the way again.
I pray this will be over soon.
So why must I marry?
I learned an important lesson from my parents:
there’s no turning back once you say “I do.”
