THINKING OUT LOUD

 

I have always had a rough picture of fatherhood,marriage and kids but with time this beautiful fantacy is slowly if not quickly fading away

The idea of vows and 'till death do you part' doesn't reasonate well with me because I've seen how love transitions to something far much worse,something far from passionate

I've seen couples being deluded to a ring and dates in belief of happily ever afters but end up sobbing in Ubers back home

I've seen how parents strive to stick together because of the kids

And how kids unknowingly pick up the fragments of broken homes to their families

It scares me enough to think I'll be stuck with someone for the rest of my life unsure of whether we were bond by love or infatuation

And years down the line our union grows weak,our home become hostile and nothing about the vows makes sense anymore

It might be too late to steer the boat home or maybe we  would need to drown to realise how soaked in regrets we are 

How ashamed we are that death never got us to part but circumstances...
