She yearns now for his tender kiss From behind the facade of marital bliss To sense the rapture it could bring Her passion stifled by a wedding ring
Her eyes appear now famished In a life contract of ill-design The honeymoon long ago vanished From her fate she cannot resign
The eyes speak what she cannot tell The mind conceals what the spirit knows well Her smiles disperse the heart's desire She holds back tears that the eyes conspire
Chaste thoughts gradually wither away Open a cage to let lust hold sway Held incarcerated but now ceased to be Softly whisper hymns of infidelity
Alone she shivers in the cold No one to have, no one to hold Yesterday's vows a mere illusion Torment her with a paranoid delusion
The vows weathered stormy seas She steered through all for feelings like these Till death do us part for better or for worse Hollow promises echo a nuptial curse
Her craving lips and throbbing heart Seek to flee to the start If she could get rid of it with a spell And escape to him from a living hell
