A Valentine from a False Friend

When we first met I didn’t know you.

I can’t say it was love at first sight.

First an occasional friend

sometimes helping me out at night.

 

It took a while for you to grow on me.

Finding myself with you on my mind

I cannot say it was love at first sight,

but when I fell my love was blind.

 

I could do things I thought beyond me

taking me to places I’d not go alone

You convinced me I was invincible.

With you at my side I wasn't a clown.

 

But you wanted to be my master.

I found domination was your game.

An abuser I loved no more.

Just the bottles from whence you came.

I so get this poem.  A well written piece with powerful emotions clearly implied.  Loved it.

I wanted to look at the IP from a different angle. Lucky for me I'm not much of a drinker, but I've seen the damage it can do.

Best to you.

Somtime I try to get a quirky take in the IPs

Now it's back to the "saga" :)

I think this sums up a lot of relationships very effectively! Good poem!
