Marriage Material

“How many meters do you need?”

That the streets are cold and unforgiving

Transactions as love

One encounter to another

A bottle for a body

Marriage material,

Material for a man

Marriage for a woman

She is tasked

In only this one thing, mastery

Whether it lives or dies

Individual Mastery, in this one thing only

A walk down the aisle

That was a walk to a solitary existence

If all he has to offer is materials

Most of marriage is lived

Bare

Bare to the bones, your soul exposed

Down to the atom

What happened to Us against the World

They exist only on the web, on camera

For millions and millions of likes

So, men finally got away with this

‘No labels’

Haha

It used to be the first thing

A label? ‘No One’ wants that

But if materials are the best one has to offer,

Then they have nothing to offer at all

A friend

In a 10 hour labour

I love you, I’ll fight for you

On nights when not even you know why you bleed

A dream catcher, for all the dreams you’ve forgotten

A heart

To have and to hold

Is a life

Worth fighting for.
