Her smile is brighter than the sun
His frown is deadlier than a machine gun
She has the life she always dreamed
He has a life forged in taunts and screams
With her glistening diamonds and high heel shoes
With his worn out sneakers and purple bruise

You’d think they are complete opposites
But neither of them have self confidence
They both endured a ghastly past
Which is what brought them together at last

No matter how much she owns
Or his growing pile of loans
They aren’t so different after all
Because their love is greater than every waterfall


The author's comments:

In this poem I wanted to bring two completely different people together whether it was through tragedy or love.
