The Arrangement

She was getting married

Convenient/inconvenient

A not-so loving and blushing story
Photo after photo in a velvet album
Heartfelt and touching

Hers was a game
That lifted like cigarette smoke
In a room where someone lost
The bet of a lifetime

Giving and holding
In times that felt like ash and cold—
An eternity of regret
Frustration
And shame
