She Wondered

She spent her youth in concert sinning A fact half known but fast ignored "I'll trade your past for a new beginning" Said off the cuff but now an ode She wonders if he really knows She feels her body's spent for giving A good man she deems him, and rightly so Complicates further the decision "Oh god where were you before, Before I mastered at deceiving?" So close to words these thoughts did grow But prunned by his ribbon wrapped unveling She wonders if she should say 'no' "I'm I my past or my ambition?" She wants a family and a home To lead a life that's worth it living Her mouths agape set to respond No trace of his confidence thinning A persistent shiver in her bones She wonders if it's her he's seeing His knee is floored, his face is grinning He thinks her flattered to the brimming Her head is spinning, her limbs are cold She whispers, 'yes...' As she wonders on....
