I have been too concerned with this meaningless life
suns set, moons rise bringing me closer to death
I sacrificed everything to become some man's wife

in the moment I feel I might truly exist
this heavy routine pulls reality from me
I have been too concerned with this meaningless life

I kill everything I touch, I keep, I love
and somehow I believe I can settle this normalcy
I sacrificed everything to become some man's wife

he'll ask and I'll obey knowing something's wrong
if the sky turns pink to blue without my attention
I have been too concerned with this meaningless life

dead as a doornail but still making love
if a child is my rescue it's too bad he sewed me up
I sacrificed everything to become some man's wife

in the end I don't know God or a winter day
he is as dead as my womb and I'm left alone
I have been too concerned with this meaningless life
I sacrificed everything to become some man's wife

Author's Note: I'm not sure what has compelled me to try form. but this is my very first attempt. if you comment, be kind so I don't die. I was watching the sky. the trees looked like autumn, but I realized that I hadn't noticed them change. I closed my eyes for a while. when I looked again, the color of the sky had changed from pink to a deep blue. then the main lines came and I went where they took me.
