Unmarried
Maybe he utters promises in the name of the Lord
But unwilling to bind the matrimonial cord
You may be his resting place
But you are not his home.
Maybe he stares at you with passion
But you are not the one he's looking for
Yet he can't say it-- "farewell" or "shalom!"
You may be treated as a princess
But he is searching for a queen
Maybe he dries those tears
But he never lets you lend his ears
You may always be comforted
But you aren't his resting place
When he wants peace of mind in solace
Is that how you want to be treated?
