We watched them
Walk down the aisle
Others that is
You and I
Spectators we were
To the union of body and soul.
You saw them
Come in a pair
Those others that is
You and I
Became the watched
The consequence of my sin
And then you laughed.
All four of us
Two tainted with guilt
One silenced
By uncertain suspicion
And you the last
Free to laugh us
A wedding song.
(Inspired by the song “wedding song” by Tracy Chapman)
I no go lie. I did not – do not understand this one.

Hmmm, Dotta, very perceptive.
Na wa!
I re-read it after seeing the comment @Dotta.
It made more sense then; but I still don’t grasp it quite well.
Poetic though… I guess I lack the perception.
Well done @esosa

Yep, I don’t understand this too. I like the beginning, made more sense to me than the end.
