I Do, I Don’t

The ring is cubic zirconia

The band is stainless steal

She says she doesn’t mind

Long as the love is real


No fantastic venue

The church is where we kneel

She says she doesn’t mind

Long as the love is real


The automatic organ

Bleeds out our nuptial peal

She says she doesn’t mind

Long as the love is real


Her dress is second-hand

Pinned up beneath the heal

She says she doesn’t mind

Long as the love is real


The priest begins his ramblings

Her gaze is fresh with zeal

I know I shouldn’t mind

Long as the love is real


“Do you take this woman?”

Is this really how you feel?

Those words eat at my mind

“Long as the love is real”


I stand up from the altar

And take off my boutonniere

I tell her that I’m sorry

But the love just isn’t real.
