death of a marriage

I loved this man with all my heart
My life he was invited to be a part
I gave him my everything, including my soul
We made vows to be each other’s from young through old

My mind was charmed, my heart was his possession
During all that time no other man was my obsession
Together we gave life to our beautiful offspring
No woman has been so proud to sport her wedding ring

Our life, our love, I never doubted was true
Now in the former hours my whole life has come unglued
My heart is tattered, I’ve never been such a mess
Yesterday I learned of my groom’s mistress

My lips won’t smile, my tears won’t cease
No one can even help me feel at ease
The death of my marriage I’m grieving for
This anguish won’t let up, tears are flooding the floor

This man I married is a stranger to me
How could I have been so deceived?
I thought him my best friend, the love of my life
Now my heart’s been cut out, and he holds the knife.
