Looking On In

They all look on with big eyes.
He holds here hand.
They don't realize
she's not really there. She'd rather be
anywhere else.
But they don't see.
It seems she's given up for now
on the vows and rings.
And she doesn't sing.
Not like she used to before she caved in.
Gave up to her feelings
Let him steal her heart.
She had a fear overwhelming
the back of her mind.
Fear that she might never find
that well built groom in the black, clean suit.
So she'll hold her smile
plastered across her jaw.
She'll hide every glimpse of truth
and every flaw.
Let them run with the notion
that they're perfect forever
while she sits there just waiting
for the bind
to sever.
