In the land beyond the hills

My heart yarns to heal

If only I could see

All would be at peace

                                                   "I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband..."

Just a twist of my thoughts

And my tears fill the pots

If only I could redo my words

Peace would rein my world

                                                                      "To have and to hold..."

Your words hit my heart

And I felt as though I'm hurt

If only you could read me

Then you wouldn't have and hold me.

                                                                     "To love and to cherish..."

My mouth spilled the words

And the words spanned my world

If only you knew

I love and cherish another

                                                                     "For better or for worse..."

Your voice filled the air

As I silently gasped for air

I believed I could forget him

For better or for worse

                                                                 "In sickness and in health..."

My words reminded me

When my health deteriorated

I couldn't help but to think of him

As though he was my healer.

                                                                 "In richness and in poverty..."

Your words are pure royal

Your family known of wealth

But still I couldn't help

But to side with him even in poverty

                                                                     "Till death do us apart..."

My heart skipped a beat

As I stated the words

If only jealousy freed me

Then peace would rein my heart.

                                                                      "So help me God."

As we sealed our marriage

hoped to have paid his own coin

 Face tomorrow as a married woman

A happy ever after life

But the more I tried to forget him

The more I craved him

This is way out of my hands

So help me God.
