Hey y’all… have a listen. Good stuff. :)

This is me performing my own spoken word poem. Enjoy!

It was the 25th of May,
Just another ordinary day,
But not for Susan; for she was to be married soon.
All the plans were in order,
All the arrangements had been sorted,
From seating to eating to what types of flowers or food.

This was the perfect marriage in every way.
This was a marriage where people would stop to say,
“Look, look at how happy they are.
I’ve never witnessed a love like there’s,
Never in all my years,
Just look, look at how happy they are.”

She couldn’t help but look at the time,
It’d been a while since he left on highway 49,
To pick up the diamond that she was to wear.
Outside, the rain was heavy, it was thick,
The clock never stopped, tick, tick, tick,
Worry grew on her shoulders, so she took up a chair.

That’s when the phone rang,
And that’s when her heart sank.
Who could this be, and why are they calling so late?
“We found your husband on highway 49.
He drove off the edge, he didn’t survive.
I’m really sorry to have to tell you of his fate.”

She dropped the phone. How?
Not right before the wedding, no no not now.
And she cried, she cried, she cried until she could no longer breathe.
She cried rain, and sobbed thunder,
A dark storm because he was the sun to her.
She lay on the floor, crying, begging for this all to be a dream.

That night she tries sleeping,
But she’s screaming, screaming, screaming,
Her heart is screaming for another chance.
Her face is wet and her eyes are cold,
But nothing hurts worse than her broken soul.
Nothing hurts worse than being denied a wedding dance.

Morning arrives, it’s supposed to be her wedding day.
She sits up and looks at her wedding bouquet.
And right then and there, her heart splits in two.
She wipes the tears from her eyes,
And is taken by surprise,
By the envelope on the table, with the familiar handwriting, “I do.”

So she reads it:

Dear Susan,
You have always been beautiful to me.
Never once did I not see our love in your eyes.
You are my sun and my moon and my entire universe.
I need to spend every day with you.
I vow to be your beating heart.
I vow to be your crying shoulder.
I vow to be there in sickness and in health.
I vow to always be by your side,
Even when the days seem to die,
Even when the mountains seem too high to climb,
Even when the stars just can’t seem to shine,
I’ll be your angel,
high above the sky.
With love, Jeremy.
