No, I will not marry you

Not this time, I will not cry
Oh merciless fists, I'd rather die.

If the beatings could end,

Would I still be able to bend?
Idle eyes spill silent tears,
Like love forgotten after all these years.
Love is an alien we don't wish to see,

Not only a thing, but someone we can't be.
Only a gentle hug that can commit.
The thing we all crave, but cannot admit.

Many have tried and many have failed,
And just as many have never sailed.
Remember
Remember
You cannot survive.

Yet somewhere the eagle continues to dive.
Out of the old, and into the new.
Until you apologize, no. I will not marry you.
