The Two-Faced Gemini
None of it was fair
Your smile
It was hers to see
Your laugh
It was hers to hear
Your touch
It was hers to feel
Your hug
It was hers to embrace
Your voice
It was hers to listen to
Your care
It was hers to experience
But
Your words
It was to cut through my heart
Your anger
It was to burn me alive
Your violence
It was for my body to endure
Your dominance
It was for my mind to be controlled
Your ego
It was for me to constantly apologise to
Your gaslighting
It was for me to question my sanity
How was that fair?
She flourished with your good side
While I suffered from your evil side
My bad, I should have known
You're a two-faced Gemini

Before Sylvester the Cat, there was Sylvester the Dog
Sylvester was a Merrie Melodies canine Sylvester, the Cat, is a beloved Looney Tunes character who debuted in March 1947 in the animated short Life with Feathers. The iconic Mel Blanc once said that he enjoyed voicing Sylvester, one of his favorite characters. The cartoon short that was near and dear to Blanc's heart was Bird's Anonymous which starred the popular cat.

Some people in life are like that. May we stay faaaaaar away from them!
This was a very thought provoking poem, My Morbid Friend. Unfortunately, no one truly flourishes for long with these types of people. I hope this was just creatively done and not behavior that you actually experienced. Though, something tells me that its the second of those two options. *hugs and love*
So elegant! So powerful! So very well done!
Kindness, kindness, very kindness. I felt very happy after reading your story.
This was so good, so visceral. Definitely one of my favorite pieces by you
Wow. Powerful and so sad. I relate as a part of me told myself I had to stay for my children. Then my daughter said, we have to leave dad. That little voice helped me. Along with a support group I was referred to.
This is a wonderfully crafted rhyming poem. I am on the cusp of being a Gemini and a Cancer. I do know a few Geminis who can be deceiving. Also, I love the title of this poem. It really suits the wording in the poem. Brilliant.
Dharrsheena, I found irony in this piece from the very beginning. The title being “The Two Faced Gemini” , because the astrological sign for twins who can be know to be two opposites and thusly two faces of the same coin. Making this so well named! It felt passionate and heart breaking, but also insightful and eye opening. This was such a great piece, depicted from title to authors note. Simply elegant in the opposing language and flow of it! Great work my friend! 💜
Very good!
Hugs
The agony & the ecstasy, & the agony of the other's ecstasy. It's not just the Gemini. Why do we do what we do, treating some as treasures & others as trash to be discarded? Heart-achingly real.
Oh those Gemini men 🤦🏻♀️ Had my experience with one as well! Very relatable and well done!!
Oh man, I'm a Gemini, but I don't date Gemini men lol This was awesome!! Flowed excellently

So wonderful! Do you think, maybe, we all share similar experiences like these? . . . because I too had lived through one such rocky love affair with my ex--and, like yours, it was a living hell.
Outstanding work. This is a piece that many can connect with. Unfortunately, we see this two-faced coin far too often. Thank you for sharing.
Very emotional. I love the way that it switched half way through!
Exceptional. You captured the differences perfectly!
❤️❤️❤️
Found this really sad, the spilt between first and third person made it very emotional. Good work
Fabulous Work!
Outstanding poem! I love your work!
It's odd how a person's way of being can change depending on who they're with. The face we show our family tends to be different from what we show our boss, our significant others, and even our dearest of friends. Many sides of one person. Love the poem, and thank you for writing it.
Hi again This is a wonderful piece Speaks resonance to our duality We do show certain parts of ourselves to select people - Heart-(love, loyalty , Happy free-spirit) - EGO-Human- (self-serving) Sister may enjoy this -Gemini Think I'll share
Wow! Excellent piece! I love how the structure of your poem highlights the "two-face" actions!
