She walks down the isle
The black veiled bride
In desperate need
To hide something inside
She will not allow the groom
To look upon her face
She fears of no mercy; no grace
There's no way to count every tear shed
Never expresses it but conceals it instead
With the heart pounding nearly out of her chest
She can't help but long for death
Fear has grasped her soul
So many things unrevealed; untold
Her long awaited husband
Begins to remove her covering
This is it, the exposure of her suffering
Her eyes met his and she felt something inside
Through the amount of compassion in his eyes
"I love you anyways" was his very words
She could hardly believe that she rightly heard
That this man saw past it all
And still chose to love her
