Two young tainted souls juxtaposed
Wearing rotted crayon colored rags
Cereal box ring is what he proposed
Playing monster with grocery bags

Two peas in the washed away sod
Growing roots between the trash
Building eternity inside their pod
Making underwater firemen out of ash

Gathering on their one month anniversary
They both expressed undying consent
He gave raggedy clothing from the nursery
A dirty one eyed teddy was her present

Crying scrawny tears of passion
Stained feet toe locked in the sands
He gave her his all, Every single ration
Two tired souls together holding hands
