The Woman You Married Poem by Martin Nyundu

You got married because of love
The women you met long time ago
is not the women you are married to now
The love you married for has disappeared

The women you married is very beautiful
Nobody knew what was hidden under her beauty
Love is for two,
You loved her a lot

You met her in high school
You grew up together
She said you where the best man in the world
you now regret being that man

You where warned, and you never listened
Help was offered and you turned away
you said too many cooks spoil the broth
Not knowing that beauty is only skin deep

You knew about her past
She convince you,
She told you that history never repeats itself
You believed and put all your trust in her

You had the confidence and introduced her to your parents
you told them good things about her, and they warned you not to count your chickens before they are hatched
Mom said 'all that glisters is not gold'
In your mind, your heart & soul, your woman was just the best

She was accepted
So her parents did to you
It all went well as you expected
Finally you got married

Its too late to regret
You just found out about the women you married
She is the opposite of what you thought
Who do you blame? you now want a divorce

You've made your bed, so lay on it
You wish you listened
Now you know that a leopard cannot change it's spots
Is now the end of the world? This are questions in your mind

Its just the beginning
Every cloud has a silver lining
Love is blind
Once hi-ten, twice shy!
