Vows were taken to love and cherish.
A life was taken – a promise perished.
His words, once soft, now fire’s ember.
We can’t forget – this deed remember.
“Killing me softly with his words”, A lullaby no more.
The act complete, took hardened edge.
Vows splattered on the floor.
Those words in vow, judicial sentence plead.
“Till death do us part”, he fulfilled the vow indeed.
The vows of this union meant nothing to this man.
May words from the court do what none of us can.
