A Wedding is like a Funeral

by Romancing the Darker Side   Jun 16, 2007


A wedding is just like a funeral,
Happiness only minutes away.
Sign a small certificate,
And move on with your day

Catch a bouquet that screams,
"You're next, you're next!"
And have fancy decor and photos
Engraved with the victim's text.

A wedding is just like a funeral,
Except you don't want to kiss the bride.
Her brown and wooden body
Makes you want to hide.

The ceremony takes place,
In a small church outside of town.
Those who accept it smile
Those who have loved, frown.

A wedding is just like a funeral,
Both symbols of life anew.
Divorce is like the afterlife,
Except death's not up for review.
