A wedding cake takes several hours
To bake, frost, and assemble each layer.
That same cake can also be devoured
In only a few.
But
Did you savor each bite?
Did you notice and admire
the pearls of buttercream?
Did you cringe at the Gummy mouthful
of fondant that tasted like putty?
Did you laugh when a slice was smashed into the grooms face,
and duck for cover when some landed on his new mother in law?
And will you remember that night
every time you look at the topper
You pocketed when no one was looking?
●
Months of blood
Sweat
Tears
Crumpled pages
Broken pencils
For something
Hundreds of people will read over
Thousands of eyes may cry over
And unknown years it'll be loved over
And over
And over again
