He took her hand
And spoke the words
But in his grimace
He saw her smile
All the while
He spoke the lie
But never knew it
Until he died
She said it back
And held his hand
Though in her heart
She hid her pain
The smile that came
Had never waned
But disappeared when
She went insane
They stayed together
All those years
And lied of love
That never was
To live the lies
And grow the life
Just to stay
As husband and wife
