Do You Take This Man? - Diamanda Galas

I’m very disappointed in you

and I don’t handle disappointment well

I’d like to say I could forgive you

But I can never forgive;

just forget

Now it would take me ten long years to forget,

That’s 12 months of the year

four weeks of the month

and seven days a week

Well that’s a very tall order, I got to say--

I don’t have that much time to FORGET

That’s a whole lot of hard and lonely time

When we could be together

Husband with this knife

I do you adore

I take you out of ths world baby

with a lot of feeling

and with this feeling I do bestow upon you

all my wordly gifts
