I did not know enough of spite


I did not know enough of spite
Marrying the next one after a loss
A woman to get me through the night
Lonely for love at any cost
Not knowing wrong from right

Children cannot change a wife
Though they remain when love goes
Sweet throughout a shattered life
Gently underlying though 
The twinkling light when there is strife

Wealthy bait would have me caught
Enraged in her gilded cage send
After winning a freedom hard fought
On the winding road near the bend
From bartered love she sold and bought

Escaping from a shallow grave
Flushed from her crashed ship ashore
Fighting tides like an orphan brave
Places with pretty faces more
Swimming hard through trenchant waves
