How Was I To Know

How Was I To Know? I realized a mistake was made The moment the music played Emotions, conditions, circumstances Were not thoroughly weighed But the piper was paid Vows said…that Should have been delayed A curse on a heart betrayed… His true nature had yet to show Ugliness, anger began to grow Uncharted emotions began to flow Brewing on the surface... And just slightly below… This relationship Came on too soon On a crooked clock Broken slightly past noon This was supposed to be The time of my life? I should have said no But… How was I to know? (True story My wedding nightmare Realized a little too late Remedied six months later Be careful with your heart Trust that little voice inside you)
