Decaying, dripping, dirty date;

drawing delicate drops down Dear’s drafty diaphragms.

Dreamer denied dedication,

developing deathly decorum despite debate.

Did Dear’s docile Dreamer dive deep,

damaging dangerous dew-driven duties?

Dear’s dissatisfaction drew Dreamer’s dispensable discretion,

demolishing deviant desires.

Dreamer’s desperate distress

disinterested Dear’s derogatory dictionary.

“Diabolical!” Dear dramatically declared.

“Don’t!” Dreamer denied.

Dreamer departed, depressed,

deserting Dear’s demonic disputes.

Dreamer disposed dreary dispositions,

discovering delicious destiny.
