The Great Mistake

So, tell me. Would you marry someone you've only known for 3 weeks? Well, I know someone who did, and I will swear until the day I die that it was the worst mistake she could've ever made in her life. I hope it works out, I really do, but I don't see that happening. I may be judging him before I know him, but I've seen the result of what happens when he entered my friends life. I have never seen as many broken hearts in my entire life as this caused, not even with the Huge mistakes that I've made.

There are so many things that need to be considered in this kind of situation and I don't even know most of them. Talk to anyone who's currently been engaged for a while and is planning their wedding. They have so much that they didn't even think of before. Most importantly, in a young relationship, would probably be finances. Did you even work out a budget? Of course not, you barely had time to get a marriage license. I hope it works, but most relationships that will "make it on love" sink. I hope yours is different, I've seen you hurt to many times to feel comfortable with this.

What dreams you had, what hopes for the future, and you threw it all away because he asked you to. A $50 dress that was Nothing like you had a wanted; A walmart engagement ring; Walmart wedding bands; A Walmart cake; Potato Chips and Dip for your reception; 25 people in attendance; Shunning your parents; Ignoring your friends; Breaking the hearts of everyone you know. You knew better, and you did it anyway, just for your own selfishness of finally having found someone who "loves" you. He fed you what you wanted to hear, and you ate it all up, and ignored your friends. Well, I've been right about every other prediction I've made regarding you, I just pray that this time I'm wrong.

Floundering
Here you stand, in the field of strife
looking for acceptance in a cold, harsh life
where the winter winds blow and the trees are bare
in a wilderness of love, nurishment, and care.

You stand and shiver as the wind howls on,
fighting the cold until all heat is gone.
Yet, as you freeze, you refuse to make fire
but when could you need have been more dire?

You want someone else to start the flame,
someone willing to play your little game.
And so you search to find the man,
who will mold to your masterful plan.

A friend from the past, you date for a while,
but when it falls through, you loose your smile.
The stress sets on, the snow grows deep,
will there every be a warm place to sleep?

A Fresh new friend you find, and leap,
he starts to sweep you off your feet,
but when another woman comes around,
and he lets you fall; you hit the ground.

Yet, when he comes back, you leap again,
hoping this time it will last 'till when?
Soon you find his hearts not there;
his flame burns out, life's just not fair.

You can't go on, it's not worth your time,
life has nothing, no reason nor rhyme.
And so you wander alone once more,
waiting for someone to open their door.

Here a shot, it fails. he cheats, you break.
The cow can't hold the bar, clean the slate.
What happens now that his flame flits away?
You walk on in the cold, face another day.

A new potential, a friend from Snow,
but he likes your friends, where can it go?
The flame burns down, the wind howls on,
hope is stifled as you trudge along.

When suddenly your flame is strong,
is this why you've been waiting for so long?
He comes along; your reason begins to fade,
and into deep waters you begin to wade.

Your friends beckon you to not,
but you can't give up what you've finally got,
against all sense, into the deep you dive,
We only hope you come out alive.

But what of dreams you once had?
When did wanting them become so bad?
But now your deams are all dead,
and your true friends are filled with dread.

There was no love in his glance that day,
love does not look at others that way.
All he wants is you in his bed,
and that is exactly where you've been led.

I pray it lasts, and hope for the best
but in this hope, I cannot rest,
because you gave up what you wanted most
for something you wanted then.
