Evolution of a Marraige

A great mind is mine,
Although it shines different
in the light of another
  I suffer...
This  constant compromise
between loving and breathing-
The death of my bones/
Or the loss of our blood?

  Us....
On the upside
We can be sweet,
  Sweet perfection
Me... All Betty Crocker
In a yellow apron
Another pill/
Another powder...
Whatever keeps me/
Wrapped  in roses

Another selfish 
sacrafice to survive
The destruction of us-
  
And then.....
    The crash
Dare we lie
Another day-
On this stage

Dancing just to keep
all the things
I cherish least

This is marvelous poetry, Angie, and rips whenever reality confounds dreams. I absolutely love the last stanza. Keep writing.
