Many nights have I wondered
As I lay awake and pondered
This night I did dream
In the visions did stream
I am an outsider looking in
On two marriages that can not win
saw two families in this vision
And a simple line of division
A woman married to a man
On both their fingers a band
A young woman married to an older man Unhappy that in her life, there was never a plan,
a man knocking on deaths door
A family, all he has to live for
A husband and two children needing a mother
A mother needing a lover
So to find happiness and fun
She does run
A man married to a woman
On both their fingers a band
His wife about to die
In him a need to fly
Though the children are grown
Grandchildren have come along
A wife fighting for life
All she knows is strife
So to find happiness and fun
He does run
In each other’s arms they can be found
In a secret place just outside of town
Of this act I did not want to know
The need to tell did grow
The secret that hurts much
There are so many lives this could touch
The greatest insult has been given
While you are about to die, a stake has been driven
Into weak and feeble hearts
With the pain of a thousand darts
When the story does unfold
And when the lies are told
When will I stop crying?
Will a piece of me stop dying?
