Wedding Bells

I married my Self today.
I'd gotten carried away
by the Need and the Greed of filling my heart
(that breakable part)
with You, and with Them, with It and with That.
Tired, and worn, and broken, in fact;
So for my Love's health,
I married myself.

I vow to be Strong and Patient and Tough,
but Gentle enough to get through the Stuff.
From here and today,
I always will say:
Til death do us part,
I protect my own heart.
And I'm strong enough now
(Only I know the How)
to keep it that way.
I got married today.
