The Truth
The truth stood downcast in the lie
of the reality of you and I.
I was committed to a life with you.
I had taken marraige vows to prove
my love.
The truth stood downncast in the lie.
You did not care for me at all.
You simply attached me to a ball
and chain, in order to gain
my respect.
The truth stood downcast in the lie.
In the end I would have died.
But the love deep in my heart
for our offspring from the start
kept me alive.
The truth stood downcast in the lie.
Until I broke free from the prison of you.
Now my truth can shout out loud.
My sham marraige in a shroud.
Dead and buried.
