An Acrostic

Vows written don't translate to speech; they tangle on my tongue

Ever after, enduring, eternal, everlasting; what was it again?

I don't want this anymore, you said. You left me

Late, before ever-after even started.

Everyone is waiting for you here; isn't he coming?

Do you think I can dye this thing black for the funeral?
