Let us go, you and I.
Marriages smell like alcohol and sound like screaming.
And I, could not have left any more abruptly.
Confrontation is bullshit, hiding is beautiful.
And you smile at me, pretending I cannot see...
You're so close now to fixing it, but you've stopped searching for what keeps the peace.
Just hoping that if you ignore it long enough, the happiness won't wither away.

So now, you're left with the unravelled pieces that don't fit.
And you scream.
And he screams.
And my hands just shake.
Etherised beside your wedding rings; vows drip from your open mouths- drowning in empty Victorian bitter cans- and washed away by the cussing and yelling of voices that used to put me to sleep.

It's a sticky afternoon with sweat piling down our chins, we would rather huddle in the hottest room than talk it out.
It's Whiskey and ice. Tinkling against the glass like Christmas carols have come early.
Drink up, and raise your voice....louder....louder!....LOUDER!  
It's the adult declaration of each and every last mistake they ever made; pointing out every failure and weakness to have ever stood...as if biting their own necks just to spite each other.
It's the depression in the air- the saltiness of every argument, and every cloud that shook heavy rain above our heads.

So...

Please let me go, the bride and the groom-
A marriage that is so easily consumed by hatred, and ones fear of being alone.  
And I, need better headphones to block the sound...
Approaching is fucked, ignorance is bliss.
And you, hug your husband, kiss your wife- play it cool like I don't have a clue...
You're so far away from fixing it, you have lost all that could have kept the peace;

You've lost all that could have kept us in one piece.
Hello, well yes this is about marriages, with some hint of abuse with alcohol, and screaming, and not very good relationships between families sometimes... It's sort of a harsh topic but I really wanted to write about it- I didn't put it in mature content because I didn't personally think it should be- despite the minor swearing. (So if you don't like the swearing I'm sorry.) 
But anyway, tell me if you like it, or if you just want to comment about anything, I won't bite. ^.^

Very emotional.  I feel mature content is there if it might trigger something for someone?
