Idiot

For she is fair
she is beauty and despair
Live and let go
She is smiles but say no

For she is wise
with her strength in disguise
It's inside her head, you know
and not easy to let her show

Knowledge is power
and power is the world
and the world is her playground
so you see...
It all comes down to three

One told her fine,
I've had my share of games
Don't again you decline
it's your family I maim
if you refuse to be mine

We found him strangled at the shore
It was like a shot at an open goal
We knew who to look for
But she proved to be in control

Her alibi was there
We found them in the open air
Letting go of all decorum
Like a moth to a flame he was succumb

He was the second one there
to ask her to be his wife
There was a lot in life they shared
until she took his with a knife

Then came along number three
He helped her to get out
She asked and he set her free
Because he couldn't live without

Now he ended up behind bars
They found the knife and rope in his house
He had to deal with all the scars
Took the blame for his new spouse

That idiot was never loved
She just needed a way out
Now that he looks back with a clear mind
He knows what it was about

He saw beauty, he saw fairness
but missed the truth with his keen eye
and without a second's hesitation
He took the blame for her demise

He should have known
she was hard as stone
He could have grasped
he was her last clasp

But he took the fall
and got ridiculed by all
That is quite sad you see,
for that idiot is me
