| The Marriage | |

With my hat on my head, And my head in my hands. With a ring on her finger, And a smile on her face. Away washes sorrow, With a loving embrace.
His soul sings to hers. She's deaf to his plea. His mind a tin cage, Longing to be free. In her eyes he sees his absolution, To her he is but a financial solution.
With clammy hands, Mine grips hers tight. Her lips coquettish smile. Her brown eyes so bright. Our souls always together, From this very night..
In the asylum of marriage, Their lives waste away. His love for her fading, As her looks dissipate. Their lives entwined On a path of rotten decay.
Smile for the cameras On this bright sunny day I'll be always happy. With loneliness away. My soul to meld with her, Forever from this day.
The rose bed of youth, The midden of their lives. A promise of happiness The festering bitterness of life. Forty five years of malice. Together they stand, man and wife The deceit of the dream, The bloody edge of the knife.
With my hat on my head, And my head in my hands. Incomplete as a person,. Afraid to alone always stand. With a ring on her finger, And longing in my eye. I never shall wake, From this self affirmed lie.
