Runaway Bride

The poem below is a sequel of my earlier post, In bended knee. This was written about a year after the first poem as part of a school project. It was my second year in highschool when this particular poem came about.

Runaway Bride

I was walking down the aisle

then suddenly my heart beats fast

Isn't this the special day

that I have longed at last?

Then why do I have this feeling

this dread creeping in my heart

Isn't this the special day

the day my happiness will start

Is it just my imagination?

this ugly feeling inside

When I reach my destination

will ths dreadful feeling reside?

Stopping for a minute,

I looked at my destination

My soon-to-be husband looked

and smiled with anticipation

The people in the pews

seemed like a blur to me

Thn again my heart beats fast

it just wouldn't let me be

Oh, please ny friend, forgive me

for you I will never betray

But it's not love that brought us here

in this fateful day

I ran away....
