Each The Other Gainsays



What she adores he abhors
They go their separate ways
What he implores she ignores
Each the other gainsays
What she respects he deflects
They go their separate ways
What he elects she rejects
Each the other gainsays
What she obtains he disdains
They go their separate ways
What he sustains she restrains
Each the other gainsays
What she desires he rewires
They go their separate ways
What he inspires she retires
Each the other gainsays
What she completes he deletes
They go their separate ways
What he entreats she defeats
Each the other gainsays
