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,
Dismay 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.
