I Love Her To Death
The Honeymoon’s Over

My friends and family all could see
You weren’t the perfect bride for me
I never guessed that day we met
That I would suffer such regret
Each day since you became my bride
I’ve died a little more inside
You criticise most things I do
And even my Chihuahua too
You only tell me things you hate
I knew that we were tempting fate
Your criticism knows no bounds
My every move seems out of bounds
It started on our honeymoon
Things happen quick, but that was soon
It wasn’t long all hope was lost
I wanted out despite the cost
You drum up drama like a pro
The crap you spew make orchards grow
There’s no more future left for us
So I’ll move on before I cuss
Despite the fallout, come what may
I won’t be criticised this way
Your jerk response was no surprise
You said I misspelled “criticize”
