Bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh
Borne into this world
At man-kind’s behest
To stand at his side
But lie underneath
His other half
He’s the blade, we are the sheath
To have and to hold
Cherish and obey
(at) Tend when he’s sick
And stay when he strays
For better, for worse
Must honour the vow
Though he claims that love
Absolves him when he disavows
