Marriage

Now you will feel no storms,

for each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,

for each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no loneliness,

for each of you is companion to the other,

You are two persons,

but there is one life before you, and one home.

Turn together to look at the road you traveled,

to reach this—the hour of your happiness.

It stretches behind you into the past.

Look to the future that lies ahead.

A long and winding, adventure-filled road,

whose every turn means discovery,

new hopes, new joys, new laughter,

and a few shared tears.

May happiness be your companion,

May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead;

And through all the years to come.

Go this day to your dwelling place

and enter into your days together.

May your days be good and long

upon the earth.

Your adventure has just begun!

All I Ever Wanted

All I Ever Wanted

All I ever wanted was some place to hide.
I don’t want to fight you,

I’m being eaten by the nothing.
I AM the nothing,

And you are less;
Inside HIM I can hide.
He is the DEVIL,

He is my lover,
I can’t live like this,
It’s killing me!
All I ever wanted was to be free!
But these chains hold me down,
No matter how I fight!
These tears I cry,

These screams you cannot hear,

All of this inside of me,
And you wonder why?

All I ever wanted was to die.
Why won’t you let me?
