When she refused to accept the love offerings
Feigning ignorance of the fine gift being given
She didn't love him and she didn't want to lie
Wanting to avoid the arrow he was trying to aim
Cupid couldn't connect, and no choirs would sing
No anthems, only strings attached, as if in a prison
She couldn't hide a deceit that'd be in her eyes
The word "no" was often so cold and shaming
And at this time she didn't want to be despised
