In Name Only

She said I do. She did not want to, But now it is too late. A ceremony, A ring, a signed contract And witnesses congregate. She has his name; He has not her heart. They sealed it with a kiss. He's hateful and mean. She's a beautiful queen Who suffered long with this. She found someone That loves her heart, And she also loves him. But they have children, And both are married. This comes between them. She's in shackles; He's in chains, They struggle to be free. Their bond so strong Can't be explained away Like a tossing sea. They've built a house Where they wait to live No matter how long it takes. She has his heart But not his name; For this moment he aches.
