Aisle

I cried for whole night ,
I wanted to appear the happiest bride ,
A night before he appeared in the room drunk ,
Yelling at me that I won't ever come closer to his forever girl ,
He could have crossed the countries for his only love ,
His eyes never lies the love for someone,
Tomorrow we will be tied in sacred union ,
I will be walking up the aisle ,
My lovely white dress and carry my modest smile.

The world will witness I was saddest bride anyone has seen ,
My biggest fear was the day I walked down aisle and he doesn't love me ,
My mother asked me to be the most beautiful bride has all the eyes on her ,
Vows exchanged meant nothing if words are not kept ,
My maid of honour whispered ' run away ' in my ears ,
Think about it you have to be with someone who doesn't love you back in the forthcoming future ,
I sparkled for someone who doesn't like my shine ,
but as a small girl I believed this day was mine ,
He is standing on the altar talking to the best man ,
Everything dazzling and serene everything going as per plan ,
I was being more beautiful for his one glance ,
He made filthy joke about which bridesmaid he would choose for the next dance ,
Still I walked up the aisle for him with the modest smile.

I reached for his hand and he resisted ,
All the fairytales , love and words seemed twisted ,
I wanted to cry but it's a special day,
I wished he says no when we exchange the vows ,
That would be most controversial marriage seen in the town ,
Do you take him as your wedded husband? ,
Then I took a pause ,
Do you take him as your wedded husband ? ,
My mother mouthed at me what's the matter ? ,
I said ' yes ' because love my eyes couldn't get behold ,
I couldn't leave the man I love out in the cold ,
Still I walked down the aisle and had the modest smile.

Aisle is poetry of a bride who comes to know her husband is in love with someone else she till agrees to marry him because she loves him.

Thank You for reading !
