I would’ve never married you, had I known...

I would’ve never married you, had I known:

You would make me fall more in love with you by each passing year;

transforming to an us more than a me.

You would tangle my heart with yours and cause a soul-dependence on your energy;

where you start and I begin is forever blurred.

You would give me these children which I cannot function without;

dependent on their breath more than ever my own.

You would push me endlessly to grow, explore and find a deeper us;

and then hold on sternly for each painful touch.

I would’ve never married you, had I know you and I would be separated some day,

since you believe the hereafter,

is but none.
