Married


Married
Banded
Strangled
Branded
Too late to be candid
Once two become one


Cause one is never enough
You said forever
She called your bluff
Life is rough


Sort of like a fairy tale
A heart on cupid's arrow impaled
A soul once free
Now locked in jail


Male and female
One head
But damn,
So much tail


The heart is strong
But the flesh is frail
Inhale


But lungs won't fill
Cry out
Tears won't spill
Dead inside
But living still


This nightmare on your street
joined at the hip
but still incomplete
Once bed stood for sex


Now bed stands for sleep
The sex is too seldom
The sleep, never deep
Now you lay you down to creep
The vows you made you cannot keep


The price is high
The sex is cheap
The sex is cheap
The sex is cheap


You tell yourself
The sex is cheap
