Wrote this for English class, try and spot the vocabulary words :)
She'd counted on his good looks
She'd counted on his good looks
She'd counted on his wits
But she'd never counted
On his countenance
Hadn't known his gentle smile
Would break down her every defense
Didn't realize even sensible girls
Fall for things that don't make sense
With a profusion of charm
He offered her a rose
So fun and free of regular life
He seemed to offer repose
Six days after meeting
She was full of ardent "love"
Too enamored with his being
To notice his edges were rough
She started growing wistful
Around the time he started drinking
She pulled out a suitcase
But knew it was wishful thinking
All her friends had warned her
But she'd called them cynical
Her youth had slipped away
Her goals forgotten, unfulfilled
He was a different species
He was a great foray
They've been married 20 years now
Maybe she'll leave
Today
