“Till you break my favorite crystal”
“Till you forget our anniversary
two years in a row”
“Till you burn three roasts”
“Till you total my car”
“Till you fail to feed the dogs
for a whole day while I’m gone”
Why does it have to be
Till death do us part?
maybe because
by the time one of those
promises are broken
we’re already floundering
in that very large
ocean of affection
