Golden liquid pouring
Into cups of silver and glass
Did we take it too far?
Can we put it in the past?
~~~
It's been almost a year now
A year mostly great
So, where did this come from?
Did my awareness start too late?
~~~
The question now posed
Did I ever really know you
Or was it a blip?
Was that the real you last night?
Did your mask finally slip?
~~~
Or was it the juice
That made you so vile?
Because it was so out of character,
I've known you for a while.
~~~
I love you so much though
So I don't know what to do
You've taken my heart
And you've torn it in two.

Such a popular story, beauty and the beast, or beauty finally meets the beast.
Our heart always ends up in two or more pieces, don't they. Your poem was so poignant and emotional!
Great poem!
Oh man this was so relatable. Heartbreaking, but a very good poem. You’re on fire today it seems!
Oh, god. I know this feeling so well. I wouldn't like to say it's *always* so, but I've always found it to be the 'juice' making the mask slip, rather than causing the problem. :'( Hugs.
