They looked the perfect pair;
embracing polite expression,
people stop and stare,
whenever they walk into a room.

With immaculate and charming taste,

The fragrance they wore
formed an incredible camouflage,
exhale in splendid honor.

But everything is not what it seems,
the relationship has broken barriers,
the outward smile only falsely transcends
the appearance of marred interiors.

Their angelic lives are a song of deceit,
anxious to see the happiness they earn,
gathering melodies to make them complete,
and seek love guiding their path to freedom.

Consumed by their own sarcasm,

They hide truthful insult to be honest,

But unity and love lack so much enthusiasm,

Life becomes too serious and perilous.

Everything is not what it seems,

No one hears the arguments behind close doors,

Causing them to walk away into separate rooms,

And console fears in dreams of lonely nightmares.

But together, brokenness will find hope again,

Walking hand in hand getting along with living,

And the pretence of picturesque fame
will dissolve into a better relationship regain.
