I wear a black veil on my wedding day.
I sit in silence at the reception
I slip on a black rope on the honeymoon.
I give him my soul, my heart, and all of my life.
I am devoted to him only.
Everyone admires me and hopes to one day be like me.
He looks at me and throws down papers.
He wanted me to sign the NDA.
I tell him I am unable to as he chopped off my hands to hold up his head.
He tells me to sow my mouth shut, but I tell him I can't.
He had already cut off my lips to kiss the cuts he got from flipping through papers.
He slices off my tongue, and I smile as I am finally able to do what he wants.
He asks me to leave as he's expecting company.
I can't because he took my legs when he needed support to reach his goals.
He looks me up and down and frowns.
He's unhappy with the way I look.
He doesn't want me anymore.
He still needs me, though.
My eyes are gouged out of their sockets so he can use them as olives for his cocktail.

When you sacrifice yourself in order to make another one's dreams come true but they take and take until there's nothing left of you. The greed consumes them.
