i apologize, i'm a new man: poem by ~free cee!~

ALL I REALLY YEARN TO DO IS RING A BELL LOUD ENOUGH SO AS TO YANK READERS BY THERE THROAT AND DO NOT LET GO UNTIL HE FEELS YOU, THE WAY I FEEL ENGLAND!

A BRIDE AND A DOOM

I know that’s what she wants me to be
But that’s just not me
As I stood on an oak floored alter
All of my friends certain I would faultier
But no one should ever fault her
The poor little lady was made so weak
while all the while I wanted her to speak
Tell me what bills are due
tell me what’s new
But especially explain to me how the blind man knew

I must get betrothed for a lot of money I owe
So this, to me, was something I had to do, that I know
Because Big Black Bruce is a dude you don’t want to owe money to
So I pretty much was being made to vomit out “I do”
Bruce told me that he wasn’t going to kill me with a knife or a gun
He would just make me wish he had used one
And let me tell you I was in $1,950 deep
Because 80 percent pure heroin in new york city wasn’t cheap

So there stood she,
My bride to be
With a countenance that counts
And nerves of steel for when trouble mounts
My only thought was fight, flight or flee
Because she was marrying a very “ not me”
Yet she always accepts everything I’ve ever done
So what do you do when your flesh tells you to run?
But look out in the pews
Women wearing their fanciest shoes
They all came to party after the “I do’s”
Yet and still a small voice couldn’t summon my words I refuse
But could I stay united with someone who had married a fake?
And be forgiven for every errant action I ever make

How long would our hiding place still be that lovely little lake
And as for me I feel as if I’m making a cataclysmic mistake
What with all the vows I am about to make and breach
Shit, I remember Belize with another lovely on a secluded beach
holding the girl with golden hair and tickleings the sand
And just at the right time she took my hand
Or perhaps I’m wrong and it wasn’t Belize it was a floral field
While I’m afraid my secret will be revealed
Oh so very pretty in all puffy and fluffy white
But suddenly I realized I was definitely right’
So I grabbed my best man and we didn’t drive……… we flew
And I still wonder how that blind man knew

Don't know what to say 'free', knowing if I knew what to say,it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

I think you own a "Kingdom", visiting it I may not be able to spot the King from the Knights. The same fashion, I am never able to tell pictures from when Picasso painted, him being in good mood or bad!!

My senses however, reading your poems, most often floor me, most often brutally!! This one was gentle, still somewhat bruising!!!
