Rescinded Offer
Her succinct requirements rush outward like a river.
What she expects from marriage. What she expects he’ll give her.
She tries to soften her demands with voice both soft and sweet—
habits he must abolish. Standards he should meet.
They stand before cerulean bay the color of her eyes.
Waves breaking gently on the shore first soothe, then hypnotize.
Then a clap of thunder disturbs the scenic spell.
He hears the content of her words and knows her very well.
There won’t be any marriage. She never will be his.
He’s decided to just find a girl who’ll take him as he is!
Word prompts for the day are cerulean bay, abolish, river, succinct and breaking.

Well said~!,,,,, I did, she did, we did, and it worked for 50 years; but looking back, she gave up a lot, so the deep love must have been there from the start~!.

Marriage isn’t like buying an old house that needs remodeling. You don’t get to add extra rooms and a new roof.
