Insecurity

Falsity's love that double deals
It is a threat a woman feels
A way out of the wrong wedlock
A way out of the fake wedlock
Unsafe heart by black truth appeals

Gone by unjust ways stuck in wheels
Crushed to bleed though he yet conceals
All pains..a good gesture to stock
Falsity's love

'Vowed to guard with love' he repeals
Holy fire has high firing feels
Fired of words and deeds loathes wedlock
Fear filled heart knows not to unlock
Tied of timid knots she just feels
Falsity's love
