The Beginning

White lace, black tuxedo, promise before God.

So much preparation, everything is in its place.

For this moment, all is right. But moments don't last.

Promises can be broken, as can hearts and vases.

A love meant to last a lifetime, can shatter in minutes, seconds even.

But for today, for this moment, love is eternal.

Bodies break, lies told, anger rises, and blood flows.

The people of our past, though gone in our reality, exist forever in memories and photos.

A man who once you loved, passes on the desert sand.

Combat in war and love, who wins in the end?
