Your three words today are:
OPEN
OPAQUE
OPAL
Misaligned
He was an opal
She was opaque
He was an open-book
Close vest pocket was her take.
–
He shared his desires and dreams
She was tight-lipped of such things
He wanted to be close
She required that he’d have wings.
–
He shared his love
She held hers back
He was non-maligned
While she would attack.
–
He softened his words
Whilst hers were harsh
He expressed how things felt
She disappeared for Marche.
–
He tried to bridge the gap
She spoke what he needn’t hear
His honesty, used against him
Her self-righteousness, a spear.
–
Foolishly he married her
Thinking she’d change
It ended badly in divorce
and that isn’t strange…
