1neEvery Sunday we dash
Masquerading as "the happy pair"
Parish participants, this habitual praise
Tends to numb our reality since
You nor I are no longer what Heaven intended
2woHope, now morphed to hardness
Expectation exorcised premature empathy
Arguments soured our affectons
Responsibilities exterminated romance
Together we are in name only
Seen by others -- the unblemished poster couple
