Where Her Safety Lies

Her union with another

Though my heart aches with pain

I accept it for her safety

In a society that's so vain

My love for her is true

But to express it, I dare not

For fear of society's scorn

And the acceptance it has sought

Though she may not be mine

I'll always love her true

And in my heart, she'll stay

Forever, until my time is through

But her happiness is key

And in this marriage, it's found

Though my own heart may break

For her safety, love's bound

So I'll keep my feelings locked

And let her live her life

Knowing that she's happy

Is reason enough to survive

And though we may never be

I'll always love her from afar

And in my heart, she'll stay

My shining, my guiding star.
