She loved a man named Tim.
She loved him enough to marry him.
She was light skinned and thin.
She went to church and sang a Hymn.
He only wanted to condemn.

To be shown up by his bride,
And for him to be right by her side.
She finally found release, when she died.
He didn't cry, but he tried.

He only remembered the bad things he put her through,
Good memories, there weren't any, the bad were all he knew.
He was alone, and he would die that way this price he'd pay
Then suddenly, he was afraid. View table of contents...

She loved him enough to marry him.
