32 - If the Bride had no Brothers

I wish I knew what to say

(I could have been happy here)

But I don't, so I let my hands

Be my words, I let them take the oil

To light the fire, to stand back

To watch the castle as it burns down

Taking you with it, and

The last shreds of my heart

But what if she had no brothers?
