She stares at the darkness
The rain and clouds
It covers her home like a shroud
Dark cobblestone
Everywhere she looks
Moss grows in all the crannies and nooks
When will the darkness end?
Her future looks bleak
The outcome dull
Her life is planned in full
Marry him, live here
Now now
No time for tears
She's suffocating
In this darkness
No air
Can penetrate the clouds

It's been so long since she's seen the sun
It's light has been forgotten
Her eyes are lifeless
Her features dead
I suppose that's what you get
For suffocating the life
Out of a girl so full of light
You've bent her will
Made her submit
And so she lost her charm
Her fiery wit
A complete stranger who had
A gracious smile for the guests
And a "Don't worry" at cleaning the mess

What if you had let her live?
What if she still had
Her charm and wit?
Maybe then she would dance in the rain
Rather than cry with it
What if you hadn't forced her to marry him?
Maybe she would have been a different wife
Perhaps she wouldn't have chosen to marry at all
She might've lived a scandalous life
But at least she'd have lived

But you pinned her under your thumb
Pushed and molded
Broken and hit
Until she succumbed
Are you happy now?
She lived an unhappy life
And died an unhappy death
All because you couldn't stand to be contradicted
You had to be right
To rob her of her fight

Now you stare at the darkness
The rain and the clouds
But at least you know what she felt now
