Tuesday's Mashito Challenge...My Demise

Plans were on schedule
today would be the blessed day
that my only son would finally give me away
The wedding I've dreamed of
The life I always knew
the forever I planned to spend
making all my wishes come true
A trip planned to Murracco
to experience life's finest cuisine
Time spent in leisure
and touring by day
All our evenings spent making memories
fulfilling all our fantasies
loving the night away
Friends traveling from far and near
Even relatives from Pa are here
Some of them couldn't understand
why in the world
I wasn't marrying a man
They said my mother
would  turn over in her grave
My auntie even preached to me
warning, "you need to be saved"
But, my sisters and my son already knew
that this was what I always wanted to do
To finally see me so in love
was the only thing they'd been praying for
I'd planned to move away
Shortly after my wedding day
I had said my goodbyes to all my old friends
I swore to them my memories of them
would never end
Even my job hated to see me go
I had created my own position
and was partly responsible
for how the business was run
how with a hands on approach
it would prosper and grow
The night before the wedding
It seemed too much like a dream
with all my family
and friends sitting near
My heart was grappled with an uneasy fear
Was I making the mistake of my life
by making this woman my wife
Was there information I didn't know
Why was my heart beating so?
I silently began to pray
that I wasn't making a big mistake
I opened my eyes
and looked at her
for the first time I could see
that this woman
was hiding something from me
A look I had never seen
in her pretty brown eyes
told me she was trying to hide
details about her past
that she has refused to confide
After the party, I retired to my bed
tossing and turning
my heart filled with dread
I was awakened by a nightmare....
One of the scariest kind
In the dream,
I was rendered blind
But I could vividly see
Everything that would happen to me
I would get married as planned
but the marriage certificate
was signed by a man
Had I been able to see
I would have known
that I signed myself into
a medical  research laboratory
This place was selling parts
of the human anatomy
My dismembered body was due
the day after my wedding day
at twenty minutes past two
I was so frightened
I tried to wake myself up
from this dream
that scared me so
I couldn't wait to let my fiancee know
But, I couldn't wake up
the dream kept going on
I could still see myself
trying to dial the phone
911...please answer me quick
this nightmare I'm in
just won't quit
I saw myself going back to sleep
praying to the Lord
for my soul to keep
I drifted off into a light snore
When I awoke, it was morning
and my sister was knocking on the door
She came in
and tried to wake me up
But there was no response
She called my other sister and my son at once
They all came in one by one to see
if they could get
some sort of vital sign out of me
It had been too long
Maybe she died in her sleep
This day has caused too much excitement
and stress she could not take
and just to think...
what a beautiful
happy bride
she would have made
Now she's somewhere in the shade
eating crackers
and drinking lemonade
while her fiancee is left to mourn
With my demise
I'm hoping she can carry on....
