Broken Bells
Hidden behind a loveless lie
An institution held up so high
Predefined wrongs and predefined rights
Them, trapped inside a showcased life
They say in heaven a match is made
And will of God a man obeys
No matter what, the toll it takes
They must endure for culture’s sake
If love is lost, they shall not crave
And if they do, they must be saved
A sin to long, the pain to stay
A truth ignored till it fades away
And thus the years, they pass them by
Hidden tears and force-full smiles
Two lives, two stories and wasted time
In the righteous life of a loveless lie.
