Mercury's Vow

Mercury’s Vow

And all my sorrows turn to joys in times unlikely number’d

But quickly end with willful sighs to turn smiles e’now

A joyful look, I quickly took as e’re I turn my head

By Mercury, I pledged my vow

I wish only to live in the here and now

Never have meanings wrongly misread

But what will come of this sacred vow?

In public I will not one glistening teardrop shed

Only happy or pleasant face allow

Not to belie or fool, ‘tis that I dread

Br Mercury, I pledge this vow!

Vows

Vows

All anyone can ask

Is to give you all can,

To try not lie,

And to love with all your heart and soul.

To vow to be faithful

Is a large part of what is wrong with this world

We expect too much

Then are upset when it falls apart

Just don’t flaunt them in front of me.

Don’t get trapped.

Be careful.

I don’t want a fixer up model.

Anyone who goes into a relationship

Intending to change someone

Ends up

With disappointments and heartaches

The only person you can count on changing

Is you.

So go into love with your eyes open,

And never end up

With your heart in pieces on the floor.
