Till death do us part...
She smiles with eyes fixed on me and says it back...
"Till death do us part..."
My heart bleeds at the memory of a promise.
My mind fails to let go of the moment she swore.

She gave her body to another man. Groaned in pleasure to the sweat of another.
Tore our sheets in my absence.
With her eyes closed... with her eyes open... she spread the fruit only known to me...

Till death do us part...
Her heart takes no prisoner...
Her promise is weak
She is as cold as they come
I befriended and wedded the devil...


All the days she worked nights...
All the community eyes that looked at me funny.
All the doubts l defended
All the shame l knew not
Till death do us apart ... those were her words...
