The Trouble with Getting Married

shelina denise chapman 1986 (norfolf, va)

The trouble with being married is that you give up your virginity
or so I've feared
my first kiss be on the Cross of Wisdom
my first kingdom being Sodom and Gomorrah
my first echo being an adromitive.

I wear a white dress revealed in white with the man of my dreams I am supposed to marry
an arrangement of (F)ate, perhaps? Maybe. If my gift were a dream, you'd surely be wearing it.
