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

  • 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.

    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.

  • J. S. Lemire11 months ago

    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.

    Found this really sad, the spilt between first and third person made it very emotional. Good work

  • Tiffany Gordon 11 months ago

    Fabulous Work!

  • Outstanding poem! I love your work!

  • Brittany Miller11 months ago

    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.

    It’s not easy being a Gemini for sure . Keep on being consistent inbeing kind without allowing a narcissist to take advantage of you.

  • C. Rommial Butler11 months ago

    Been there. Done that. Lost the t shirt in the divorce... Always sorry to hear it, but I enjoyed reading these lines. Well done!
