A Perfect Couple

They have amazing smiles Two islanders from neighboring isles Found love and got married Enjoyed the blessing it carried Leading life with no demise Happiness enveloping them, a disguise Look through the photo albums Memories too valuable for sums Yet under all the joy and perfection Comes the ultimate interjection You realize there is so much pain The amount, quite insane Smiles were all fake Everything was about to break The unity and love was a fluke It was all hit by a nuke Tracing all the signs of sorrow That killed the future of tomorrow Realizing that there were broken hearts That were shot by poisonous darts And all you can do is stare Because reality you can't bear There is nothing you can do When it has nothing to do with you Watch as everything crumbles To pieces, as the noise mumbles Seeing that image topple Is it still that of a perfect couple?
