The future of my world
and hope of my dreams.
I asked her and she told
me to ask her father's blessing.
The fatal wound was struck
as I heard the words issuing forth.
"You don't have anything to offer anyone!"
In disbelief I tried to comprehend
the injury treacherously dealt.
I avoided her to my best when years later,
she imagined that she had made a move,
and thought that I would recognize,
her supposed undying love,
And said loud enough in scorn,
a second stab into my heart
"He'll never get married!"
looking down on me that day.
