Melted

As you poured,

I saw the glass as half full

of which I gladly drank

Too much - it was never too much,

I wanted more - until

 

The ice melted

slowly as I watched,

disappearing before my eyes,

diluting your feelings,

thawed by my overindulgence

 

As you poured,

I still saw the glass as half full,

you saw it as empty

 

I drank way too much  - of you

I think I'm melting again. No really...
It's my eyes... :(

If it can be diluted, it's not love.

Ance, thank you so much. I think I just need to quit drinking.

An amazing metaphor. It leaves you feeling sad and disappointed for the central character, and also thirsty for more of such poetry. =)

wow, when love becomes watered down and diluted....we become deluded into still seeing the glass as half full...rather than half empty...
but deep in our hearts, we know better...we have overindulged.

Jacob, thank you again for your nice comments on my work. I am happy you understood and enjoyed this one.

To overindulge in something good for you seems fine to me, but if it's not good for you, then that's a problem. To see the glass half full is definitely a good thing ! I love the romance of your words, delicate and emotive. Very nicely done. Penny
