Emotionless love By Whitney Osburn

A small portrait painted of two in love.
Looked as a blessing was sent from above,
A young boy and young girl, together,
Supposed to live happily ever after,
Young love can be so powerful and strong.

Those three small words lead to something so big.
A lifetime of happiness to be lived,
The day had finally come to be wed.

A young boy and young girl, together,
Forever, they were to be together.
A white dress the girl would wear down the aisle.
While the boy would wear a black tuxedo.

Green trees blew behind the ceremony,
While the young newlyweds stood together.
Pictures were snapped to remember the day.

A young boy and young girl, together,
Stood there for what seemed like forever.
Neither one smiled or looked at either one.
The young girl’s two hands held a big bouquet,
While the young boys two hands grasped her small hips.

A white tulle veil draped the young girl’s small back
A tie hung loosely upon the boy’s neck.
Motion was hardly noticed, they stood in
One spot, no smiles, no laughter just thought.
A young boy and young girl, together,

Stood in the garden with no emotion,
Their faces were plain; they couldn’t see a thing,
Couldn’t say a word, together they stood.
No eyes, no lips, no cheeks, no nose, no nothing.
Two newlyweds stood without any face.

  1. Whitney,

    I liked the simplicity of this Poem. It made me think of how young the newly weds were and that they were simply lost in a way without their faces. I liked this line; "Stood in the garden with no emotion,
    Their faces were plain; they couldn’t see a thing". I think it brought out the idea that there is chaos in the fact that they just committed life with each other but they can't see the future or maybe weren't ready.
