Broken-hearted bride, there's nothing to write 
He hates how you left him at the altar 
For the man, you actually loved that night, 
You felt trapped with your head underwater. 
 
Arranged marriage made your lost heart rebel 
Instead of him you fell for a liar 
Promised freedom from societies spell, 
Should’ve known he was a dirty player.
 
The other would have treated you right, but 
You were blind of his unused potential 
The thought of something forced was aberrant 
The need to control your fate filled your skull. 
 
You should've donned that white dress and long veil, 
Both men are lost for good, and you as well.


The author's comments:

        I think this piece is a bit hard to understand at first glance, but it's about a woman who was put in an arranged marriage. Instead of dealing the situation she impulsively elopes with a different man as an act of rebellion. That man cheats on her, he has no care for her and she is shunned by her community.
