A lot has been spoken of love.
How Romeo and Juliet loved till the end of time
How the fallen angels fell for the monstrous demons
How love came home in Prince Charming's dreamy eyes
How falling in love was always about the happily ever-afters
Those were the days of the dreamers and their rainbow fairytales.
Then came the cynics; and came the dark times, the times of scarred love, poisoned chalices and cold betrayals.
They spoke of love too
The dark crimson and the peach black tales.
How the love for Cleopatra diseased king after king, kingdom after kingdom
How a brother killed another for the war of love
How a lover pushed a shining dagger right through the chest of the loved
How everything could be called fair in the name of love
Men made opinions
Opinions made factions
The right claimed love to be God's manifesto
The left condemned love to the whims of Evil
As time passed, love came to be known as mankind's favourite fallacy.
You think love is our greatest mistake?
Try getting married in love.
Love isn't the end of love
Marriage is the end of love
For, there are no happily ever-afters
For, there were no happily ever-afters ever
And you thought marriages were conclusions
And you thought marriages were where love led to
Marriages have never been about love
Marriages have never been any more than a never ending take of snakes and ladders
Marriages were always about families
Families were always about opinions
Opinions were never just about opinions though
But, beliefs and faiths, blind and cripple
The ones in love were forgotten in love
What was meant to be a tale of two turned an epic of the ages
What was meant to be personal was taken to the streets
What was meant to be between the lips had slipped the coffee cup to the roadside rants
The ones in love were drowned in love
The drowning fought for life
The lovers fought for love
He fought her
She fought him
He bled in the insides
She bled from the skin
And then, they made love like there was no tomorrow
One bloody love affair.
But, it wasn't about love anymore
It was about marriage
And, marriages were never about love
Marriages have never been about love
Families fought families.
The civilised had always housed more beasts than the entirety of a jungle
The snakes were gone
The ladders had been burnt down
Love stood at a distance as the worlds came down crashing
And one day, it was all over
As if, there was never a thing ever before
Or so they wished.
All of a bloody battle for nothing.
The hands were smeared in blood
The scars were too thick for a lifetime
The battle had ended
And, the winner took it all.
But, who was the winner?
Who could ever win the battle for a lost cause?
Love left a single rose where the remains of a dead marriage were laid to rest.
Marriages were never about love
Love was all that love had to itself
Marriages have wronged more lives than maladies ever will
And you thought love was our greatest mistake?
