The Reluctant Bride

Submitted by sueb on Wed, 2012-12-05 11:10

The reluctant bride
a gun at her side
last night she cried
"never again" she sighed
today stands with false pride
smiling but dying inside
her groom petrified
her father feels justified
her mother mortified
her pregnancy they deride
the reluctant bride
