I think that about covers it.
Dark Nights
He said he’d be with her “Til Death do us part.”
I don’t think she quite realized,
She couldn’t see in the depths of his heart,
One day she’d somehow be despised.
She didn't know what she was in for,
She had too much of living to share.
She didn’t seem one who would come to Death’s door,
Til the day he escorted her there.
She’d become his own living albatross,
The “dark nights” just kept slipping on by.
He determined, regardless of who felt the loss,
He would only be free if she’d die.
Though it made him appear just the worst kind of cad,
And the nation implored him to stop.
He was given the power to do something bad,
That he stubbornly wouldn’t let drop.
One has to wonder what is there in his heart,
If there is any room there at all.
The dog in the manger can now give up his part.
Lord, why did this girl have to fall?
