My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife, marrying you screwed up my life.
\nI see your face when I am dreaming. That’s why I always wake up screaming.<\/p>\n
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot; this describes everything you are not.
\nI thought that I could love no other \u2013 that is until I met your sister.<\/p>\n
Roses are red, violets are blue; sugar is sweet, and so were you.
\nBut the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl’s empty
\nand so is your head.<\/p>\n
I want to feel your sweet embrace; but don’t take that paper bag off your face.
\nI love your smile, your face, and your eyes \u2013 Damn, I’m good at telling lies!<\/p>\n
My love, you take my breath away; what have you stepped in to smell this way?
\nMy feelings for you no words can tell; except for maybe \u201cGo to hell.\u201d<\/p>\n
