Anatomy of a Marriage

Forward and Backward

Anatomy of a Marriage

The beginning is the end

Flirtatious glances and clandestine kisses

Notes passed through friends

Inexperienced, fumbling sex at prom

Sharing a college, sharing an apartment

White dress and black tux

Promotions, children

Arguments about discipline, schools, money

"I don't know who you are anymore."

Infidelity met with infidelity

Moving out, a lonely bachelor's apartment and too much time

Counseling, date nights, a lingering embrace

Remembering a life intertwined

The end is the beginning

What can I say about myself?

A mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a walking coffin

    An inverse poem for Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton. Well done, Cat!
