Title: How It Ends
Disclaimer: Me no own, You no sue
Warning: Character deaths
Notes: I was commissioned to do this. Also, ignore the ". . . .", this poem has to be formatted a certain way (well, to me it does). An AU ending for the movie.

It was doomed from the start
He knows this of course
She knows it, too, though she pretends otherwise
-
It was fun while it lasted
He smiles down at her
. . . . . . . . .So tiny, so fragile
She dreams of him
. . . . . . . . .So intimidating, so strong
Well, it was fun while it lasted
-
Her heart breaks
. . . . . . . . .As the car pulls away and leaves him alone in the mirror
He shrugs
. . . . . . . . .As the only one he's really cared for leaves with money
. . . . . . . . .He's gotten used never getting what he's really wanted
He never saw her tears when
Her heart broke
. . . . . . . . .As the car pulled away and left him alone in the mirror
-
She's only written once
He never wrote back
. . . . . . . . .Never knew of the ten other letters that were intercepted by the jealous husband
-
She named her first born Peter and tells all her other children
. . . . . . . . .About where the name came from
. . . . . . . . .About the man who probably saved her life
He never talks about her
Every time he thinks that he's forgotten
. . . . . . . . .He turns around and finds a headline and a picture
-
She died before her husband
. . . . . . . . .At the age of forty-five
The doctor was never able to determine the cause
. . . . . . . . .Though a few of her closer friends say it was a broken heart
-
He died alone
. . . . . . . . .At the age of forty-nine
The coroner declared it alcohol poisoning
-z-
It was doomed from the start
-
He knew this from the get-go
-
And now she knows it, though she pretends otherwise
. . . . . . . . .But when the curtains draw to a close and the ballroom empties
. . . . . . . . .She cries herself to sleep.
