HE CUT HIS SIDE
He cut his sideSeven inches long
He cut his side
Seven times stronger
The pain came with laughter
Said he was glad to do so
A reminder to let him know
He cut his side
As if a rib were taken
A long scar as if true
His tribute to our love
From him where I came
The same timing, different if one mentions
One weakness relies the other strengthens
Our wedding ring
Worn on his side
Pirced
Tied
Held
Chained
Riveted
Pressed
Our wedding ring
Worn on his side
My anwser he asks the question we think
I blow a kiss his response comes as a wink
As if a rib were taken
Dirty roads one way
In broken fleshly blood
From him where I came
He cut his side
Seven inches long
He cut his side
Seven times stronger
The pain came with laughter
Said he was glad to do so
A reminder to let him know
He cut his side
He cut his side
He cut his side
He cut his side
He births to me
