Marry Me |
Marry me, he said, through his rotten teeth, bad breath, and then |
Marry me instead of that strapping young goatherd, but when |
I was in his bed, and my father had sold me |
I knew I hadn’t any choice, hushed my voice, did what any girl would do and |
When I’m beheaded at least I was wedded |
And when I am buried at least I was married |
I’ll hide my behavior with wine as my savior |
But, oh, what beautiful things I’ll wear |
What beautiful dresses and hair |
I’m lucky to share his bed |
Especially since I’ll soon be dead |
Marry me, he said, god, he’s ugly, but fortune is ours |
Running in the gardens enjoying men, women, and flowers |
Then I break a glass and I slit my own innermost thigh |
So that I can pretend that I’m menstru… well, unavailable |
My life is arranged but this union’s deranged |
So I’ll fuck who I choose for I’ve nothing to lose |
And when master’s displeased I’ll be down on my knees again |
Oh, what beautiful things I’ll wear |
What beautiful dresses and hair |
I’m lucky to share his bed |
Especially since I’ll soon be dead |
When dining on peacock I know I won’t swallow |
Through balls, births, and bridge games I know what will follow |
We’re coupled together through hell, hurt, and hunger |
Or at least until husband finds someone younger |
Yes, fertilization is part of my station |
I laugh as he drabs me in anticipation |
Of sons who will run things when I’m under covers |
But whose children are they? |
Why, mine and my lover’s! |
But, oh, what beautiful things I’ll wear |
What beautiful dresses and hair |
I’m lucky to share his bed |
Especially since I’ll soon be dead |
What beautiful things I’ll wear |
What beautiful dresses and hair |
I’m lucky to share his bed |
So why do I wish I was… |
