She tortured him, with her cruel intent
He never realized what it all had meant
Down on bended knee, he proposed they unite
Her words, echoed still, “no, it wouldn’t be right”
“To marry a man, I have no feelings for”
All he remembered, as she walked out the door
Love was the one thing she couldn’t return
Tears filled his eyes, slowly making them burn
He couldn’t believe it, thought all was in jest
But the truth sucked the life right out of his chest
