A poisonous mixture of love and sorrow...
I drink
A dangerous concoction brewed by fate...
I know
My love for you held in this vial
Heavenly VILE
Sweet drink
I drink to thee my friend
Eventhough, of course, i know
How this story ends
Sweet taste at first of fresh-squeezed bliss
Longing for the goodness,
cause to take another sip
But the taste turns soured sorrow
When you kiss another's lip
Spoiled, Rotten, gone to waste
Ruined by my wanting's haste
Pour down the drain, what love remains
But don't misplace the vial
Perhaps someday the time will come
This bitter hurt may end
I'll Drink once more if this be true-
"Sweet love I'll find again"

I love the poem.  It's great.  Love is strange, isn't it?

"Everything happens for a reason!"

Got my vote. Started out a little reminiscent of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", then took a turn toward "the love that was once there" side. I loved it! Very well written.

Thank you so much!  To tell you the truth...the metaphor in the poem was actually inspired by Romeo and Juliet, but the meaning was taken from my own experience...we were reading the play in class when i wrote this, and i just loved it!  Thanks again!
