Two smiles dominate
Two faces of
Two lovers.
Two rings—beautiful rings—
Two clear stones sparkle atop
Two silver bands,
To proclaim their love
To each other.
To the world,
Two years was
Too short
To grow tired— restless— hateful—
Too hateful,
To the extreme of abuse—emotional and physical,
To the conclusion of a life—suicide.
Two feet on the edge of the
Two-toned roof of their
Two-story suburban home.
Two years proved
To be
Too much time
Together.
