Poetry: He said, she said

by Leigh Sanders

Created on: April 09, 2011

She's the most perfect woman I will ever meet

Beautiful and brilliant, kind and oh so sweet

He loves everything about me, thinks that I'm a ten

He'll provide for all of my needs; I'll never want again


She doesn't like a thing about me, all she does is nag

She started out a perfect woman and has become a hag

Why won't he ever talk to me? I feel so unloved

He's indifferent and silent. At most I get an "Ugh."


Thank God she's stopped harping, I needed a break

Wish I could say "I care" to her, but it would be fake

He doesn't hear the things I say, in seems he's gone numb

I can't do this any more. I should quit. I'm done


I miss the way she'd light up at just the sight of me

She'd laugh and play and make me smile effortlessly

I miss how I could make him laugh, brighten up his day

It made me feel needed and now that feeling's gone away


I told her that I love her. She brings meaning to my life

I want to be her partner. I want her for my wife

In his eyes I see his warmth, I know his love is true

He's become the man I want to be with. Soon I'll say, "I do."


She knows my faults and all my follies, and still she chooses me

I know she isn't perfect, but she is just right for me

We saw each other's flaws laid bare, we made it through it all

Now he's my rock, my best friend. He'll catch me if I fall


From this day forth I'll be there for her, whatever her need is

I'll be her strength, her shoulder to cry on. I vow, I swear to this

From until my last day I'll be the softness to his strength

I'll support him, to stand by him I'd go to any length


The minister turned to him and said, "Do you take her for your bride?"

"I do," he said, taking her hand, pulling her to his side

"Do you take him to be your groom?" She didn't miss a beat

"I do!" she cried and with that, they swept each other off their feet
