to shadow the moonless night
with inkwells
     deep india ink
  thick as blood
        to ooze the silence
soulless words
      love in the fist
    the swollen eyes and more
a fear of light and flight
  living in the darkness
         each sound
     echoes the terror
  the lies...  "to love
and cherish"  the bruises...
     "for better or worse"
   the face in the mirror
"in sickness"
         the blood in the sink
    "and in health"

  the footsteps beyond
       the black, black door
              "'til death..."

The way you wove the wedding vows throughout the poem is quite effective.

Its pretty harsh. I guess I found it confronting.
