A Woman's Plight

The Bar

She did not really understand
Her mother’s love expression

Why wouldn’t she be supportive
Of the fiance making her happy?

How could she feel justified
Dismissing him offhandedly?

She claimed it was because
He was too young essentially

Sometimes the daughter thought
The root cause as type of jealousy

One thing for sure had been true
The younger man had weakened

Limited in navigation experience
He caved in to societal pounding

Which ultimately such pressures
Had him choose to break promise
