A master piece

A master piece. 
WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKED FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE.
This is the winner 

My darling, my lover, 
my beautiful wife, 

Marrying you 
screwed up my life. 
*
I see your face when I am dreaming. 

That's why I always wake up screaming. 
*
Kind, intelligent, loving & hot; 

This describes everything 
you are not. 
*
I thought that I could 
love no other -- 

that is until I met your Sister. 
*
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. 

But d roses are wilting, d violets are dead, d sugar bowl's empty 
and so is your head. 
*
I want to feel your 
sweet embrace; 

But don't take that 
paper bag off your face. 
*
I love your smile, your face, 
and your eyes -- 

Damn, I'm good at telling lies! 
*
My love, you take my 
breath away. 

What have you stepped in 
to smell this way? 
*
My feelings for you 
no words can tell, 

Except for maybe 'Go to hell.' 
*
What inspired this 
amorous rhyme? 

Two parts tequila, 
one part lime !
