Everything she did
I dismissed
All her flaws
I put aside
Telling myself
Over and over
That no one was perfect
But
As those minutes
Grew into hours
Into days
And
Eventually a year
I finally realised
I let her say things to me
And about me
Hurtful and empty
But I classified it as endearment
I let her physically
Mentally
And verbally
Abuse me
But
I called it friendliness
I loved her so much
I overlooked everything
Indicating she was bad for me
She was that first taste of amber liquor
Strong and addictive
She had me hooked
She burned her way in my life
Leaving chaos and havoc in her wake
I was drunk
She was the calm after a storm
Daunting
She hid everything behind that serene mask
But when the mask couldn't contain her
All hell broke loose
Her soul was as dark as the depths of Tartarus
Her anger as eternal as the River Styx
Her love
As false as equality
She wasn't who I knew anymore
Suddenly
We were diametrically opposed
Foes
