Happily Never After

opposites attract
pain breaks a back
hearts interact
all the way to a heart attack

battle axe swinging
fat lady singing
end of the beginning
to the past, clinging

truths die
lies denied
faces we hide
in love's lonely collide

sending out an SOS
wanting more, taking less
meaning no, but saying yes
to the big white wedding dress

love wonders
as fear plunders
all others put asunder
living with the thunder

guessing, distressing
silently undressing
attempting the un messing
of something once a blessing

when did love wander away
there is no real way to say
happened while we were in dismay
of living happily ever after every day

happily never after, a fact
in the recovery of the heart attack
no way to get back on track
jill walks away without jack

love's language untranslatable
sometimes it's just un relatable
a hunger so deep, it is insatiable
lawyers soon will make it debatable

the language hard to decipher
the toll paid to the piper
a love died, free now of the stress
grieving in my little black dress
