The service was so beautiful;
Communion cups were passed.
And from the light we saw that day,
The bond was sure to last.
But in the haze of drunkenness
With spirits flowing fast,
Their love gave way to skeletons
And shadows of the past…

A sad but too often true Quadrille for De’s “shadow” prompt at
dVerse.
Mystical Strings 
Oh, YES. Sad, and way too often true (I live in/near Vegas, where these sorts of weddings are all too common.)
Oh those skeletons from the past… they do come up and haunt us… so sad when something so light moves to darkness.
Your quadrille is so lyrical and musical, with a dark twist.
A somber take on the joining of shadows.
Sadly true for so many…
Oh, that is sad. Too often, there is so much attention given to the ceremony and none to the work, the long-term work that is an enduring relationship.
Exquisite write!!
Very well written quadrille.
So sad when relationships go that way.
Enjoyed the rhyme in your quadrille. It is unfortunate when those skeletons and shadows are not revealed earlier…or for some, it is all about denial.
