Today I wed to myself
I take this tired hand in marriage
The weary days and heartache will be no longer
I let go of the shadows of you
In this light I glow purple
And sleep with the sound of solitude

Humans were not built for solitude
I used to say to myself
Even the richest queens wearing purple
Always give themselves away in marriage
So I must give my hand away to you
Then the loneliness will be no longer

Out of the maze one can be lost no longer
It can be a gift this solitude
I never really needed you
I keep telling myself
All these people getting into marriages
Something, old, new, borrowed, and purple

You know it’s the color of royalty, purple
And if you are royalty your love is supposed to last longer
It will be a diamond marriage
And you will never have to experience solitude
The days waking up by myself
Will be interrupted by you

My mother did suggest that about you
That there was something just a bit… purple
About the way you made me feel when I was by myself
And that maybe my soul would last longer
If I just let myself sit in the solitude
And maybe reconsider this thing she did called marriage

Do you regret your marriage?
I asked my mom and she said you
can not understand until you have experienced solitude
just enjoy this period so purple
and the longer
you do you will realize laughing by myself

Or even crying by myself
will no longer
make you feel so purple.
