Dilapidation

You break my heart with the
efficacy of a bulldozer dancing
on a porcelain plate.
I never knew before I met you
That love is a drug with a
potent side effect of hate.
Your face and your smile
that once sent me to rapture
are now beginning to grate.
Your voice that used to
sing to me now hums
the monotony of fate.
I don't know if it's early to
say I don't love you, or
whether it is too late.
I'm sitting by the ruins of
the love we once built, now
left to dilapidate.

amazing imagery in this potent poem about how love can really dupe us sometimes...we are so sure, so full of love for someone, and then that person turns out like so many others, disappointing...the opposite of what we thought he or she was.

i really like the almost unnoticeable rhyme scheme that allows for they rhythm but is yet, so subtle.
