I know I lied when I talked
about our future wedding
because her life is turning off
in the stillness of the room
but I achieved that her face
turned from white to pink
and a smile fastened
this merciful lie.
Her hands were pale iris
that softly held mine
while at heaven in her delirium
I asked for me her agony
I put the ring in her finger
while my trembling voice
was saying in a low voice
a merciful lie
Was saying in a low voice
a merciful....... lie
lie, lie, for your love.
