Entangled: A Poem on Marriage
I lost myself
Your name became mine
It almost didn’t happen
The long plane ride
Unspoken fears
My bucket slowly emptied
Scratching under the sunshine
Water roaring
Eyes watching
My words drowned
Long, winding path
Littered with forks
Two became one
Lost in the shuffle
Happy hearts
Perfect panic
I loved you then
I love you now
I love me, too, though
And I don’t know where to look
To find who I used to be
Looking through the lens
Of supposed to be
I vowed never to engage
And here I am tied in knots
