Friends and family

Standing with shock, words echoing
'Get out of my house', heart hollowing
He's family, we had an easy relationship
In the matter of a moment, I felt it rip

At first I was numb, filled with shock
Then grief set in, tho I tried to block
Walking blindly, repeating a line over again
Trust is for fools, don't trust men

But it's more than simply a gender
Anyone can surprise you, go on a bender
So remember, before you destroy a friend
Stop, consider and count to ten
Is it worth losing 9 years of friendship
Just to let your temper slip

As for you, you can try to mend it
But it isn't something I can easily forget
Eggshells are the shoes I'll wear around you
For I don't know if it'll happen again out of the blue

Marriage

I'm scared, wondering why get married
Everywhere I look, people look harried
Question is, is this what it's going to be
People fighting and everywhere misery

The vow is for better or for worse
Truth is they're uttering a binding curse
They stop speaking love languages
Instead they slap on temporary bandages

Time slips by and leaves each astounded
They've lost their love, and they're confounded
Surely it wouldn't leave just like that
Surely they would last each and every spat

But here they are, the truth it does tell
Happiness lasts but a short spell
Once they forget to fight, but fight to forget
On all sides problems do abound and beset

And so I'm questioning this institution
This contrary thing, the marriage constitution
Two ways it can go, which way you'll never know
Until you're sailing easy or sinking slow
Whether you've chosen right
Or subjected yourself to a miserable plight.
