Sad Dizain

And they lived happily ever after
Most of the love stories say in the end
Sharing smiles, echoing loads of laughter
Never ever having to break or bend
That’s not what really happens, my friend!
Seen the rosy life off to a great start
Pause for cash to pay for food in the cart
They go to work at dawn; come back at dusk
Toiling the full day bent at desks apart
Where’s the time to inhale love’s flowing musk?
