Beyond Here Lies Everything

I came to meet you today,
I needed to ask you something,
I needed to hear you say,
Something to halt the suffering.

I rehearsed these few seconds,
For the past several weeks,
To lift me from Hades’ lowlands,
And unto heaven’s creeks.

I met you this fine Sunday,
I looked forward to this,
For it to happen, I’d oft pray,
And show me a life of bliss.

I asked you a simple question,
To which you gave a simple answer,
Which brought about our union,
Which would make us happy forever.
