Me

In front of thousands or more
I surrendered
I held her hand,
brought her home
She was called my wife.

She too submitted
to me and my family

marriage was consummated
I made love
She lost her virginity.

We were now man and wife
I followed all rituals
like all couples do.

Now she even bears my child
but lord oh lord there is another
who bears my soul.
