Am I Really Married? Poem by Nick Kler

We mostly get married
With a hope
To never be alone again
And then we start to build
Upon that strong foundation
A little home, just for us
There we plant our Love
And let it permeate

Little do we know
Life could be so cruel
It can snatch away everything
Our hopes and our dreams
From right under our feet
And throw us in a dark corner
Of an empty street
And there we spend
The rest of us

Now, we don't even feel
The rain drops anymore
No more days for you
Just one cold and endless night

You're alone once again
You have no more love to give
You can't feel a thing
You are truly on your own
Forever alone

Nick Kler
