Marrying a Bad Man

Light turns to dark
Shine turns to rust
I love the irony
Of this stupid love.

White turns to black
Stars turn to dust
His bare imperfections
I will love till it lasts.

A prince turns to beast
Fade turns to view
His foolish black heart
I will love him so true.

Dream turns to nightmare
Cure turns to pain
But I never regret
Marrying a man like him.
