When the doorbell rang,
I went to open it with a huge smile on my face,
My heart had its own melody,
Eagerness my song.
But, as soon as I opened the door,
The lyrics were messed up,
Discord in my heart,
DismayΒ Β reflected on my face,
She was at the door bubbling with joy,
Showing off her diamond ring,
And her handsome fiance.
I saw the sun hide behind the clouds,
Heard my heart break,
But, with fake smiles I gushed over their engagement,
And invited them in.
