Our Poisonous Love

by Jessica Aldag - Virgo

Our Poisonous Love

In all of the passion
 that we once shared,
our heartaches bled
 and could not be spared.

Venom was dealt
 without little concern, 
Still through all the years
 we could not learn.

Lashing out angry words
 with intent to degrade,
Cutting through hearts
 with a razor sharp blade.

Each was too proud
 to admit ourselves wrong, 
determined to win but
 both too head-strong!

Jealousy played each day
 with our minds,
a time bomb imbedded
 in which we had designed.

Away it would tick
 on the verge of explosion,
for we loved and despised
 our love of pure poison. . .

Reason for writing:

    I was inspired to write this poem due to experiencing a relationship that was a cross between love and possesiveness.  A relationship that went on still, for three years after this poem was written, and began twelve years before this poem was written.

This was a love that was certainly no small thing in my life, and one from which I've grown ever so stronger and wiser from.
