There once was a couple
Who had it all;
Money, fame and
Their own grand hall.
But their nights were restless
As they tried and tried,
But no child would come
Oh, how they both cried.
They were offered a contract
That would set them for life,
But only on one condition...
She was to become his wife.
She never believed in paper
Their love was simply enough,
But her name was changed
And she was tied to his cuff.
And thanks to science
A child was born,
Though their love had gone
And the contract was torn.
The court saw praise
And pittied them both,
No Bible was needed
No hand shake or oath.
The child grew up
He was big and strong,
Looked just like his father
And never did wrong.
But time passed by
His parents were gone,
They never were happy
Though their lives were long.
What was there left
To love in this world?
Five decades he lived
Before the lies unfurled.
He wasn't happy
He wasn't sad,
But he felt guilt
For his mum and dad.
It was his fault
They never did love again,
He reminded them too much
Of all their conflict and pain.
So he tied himself a noose
And took one last breath,
He thought of his parents
And embraced death.
