How it died

A picture tells a thousand words,
And by the expression on your face,
I can tell you are sickened by the thought,
But you smile just in case.

Elegant pictures of a "perfect" couple,
Sercretly laced in a string of shame,
A beautiful girl, and a matching lad,
Smiling faces without a name.

The background is beautiful,
And so is the girl in your arms,
You won her over the way you had planned,
But the relationship has lost its charm.

This is the night you promised her,
Something she's been looking forward to forever,
Please don't let your fake smile crack,
Be careful not to disappoint her.

Look straight into the camera,
Smiling for the paparatzee of deceit,
Your mind spinning with mistakes you've made,
Horrible things you are bound to repeat.

Don't make the girl cry again,
Because you are down to your last chance,
You've killed the trust,
And lost your love's romance.

Is this what you wanted?
Was this worth cheating for?
You lost the girl of your dreams,
Is she worth it anymore?

Still, she stands beside you,
You've been given more chances than you deserve,
Your cheating tears her apart and she wonders,
What you ever saw in her.

They will take pictures of you tonight,
A perfect couple, with so much to hide,
Her beautiful smile covers the secrets,
Of their relationship and how it died.
