The Wedding Couple
The smiling bride, the handsome groom –
A happy couple, you’d assume –
Arranged before a camera’s click,
A moment captured, swift and slick.
The tension not apparent there –
Instead, a calm and lovely pair,
Which no observer would suspect
Was, from the stresses, close to wrecked.
Beneath their unsuspecting gaze,
Their married life, in every phase,
Awaits the pleasures and the pain
That newlyweds can’t ascertain.
Within its frame, on shelf or wall,
(Unless removed with break-up’s call)
The handsome groom and smiling bride
Stare at the future, side by side.
