We took different concepts of who we were and what we wanted,
and we allowed old sayings to be applied to our future wills.
We were two worlds apart, two dissolvent solutions;
but one dominated the other, just a little bit more.
Pride seeped throughout your scars
while pain softened my bleeding.
I couldn't have pictured a better beginning
it all fit perfectly.
We kept silent for some time and yet we knew it solemnly ached,
after a while things were set and ready-to-go
but moments swallowed all the remedies we had foretold;
Unexpectedly, you urged to flee.
I crossed your path and you claimed I ruined your show,
It never occurred to me, you were on some kind of role here,
For a moment I thought I was the only one who cared,
But two dominant lions cannot share the same throne.
assaulting each other with sharp barbs and verbal blows
you kept your ideal, refusing to change in the slightest way.
Your fury was kept unrestrained;
Your involuntary power overwhelmed all that I was.
Dominance has always joined us in our hunt,
And yet we’ve dared to act boldly against all we were.
A touch was merely a warning, a kiss some exquisite torture
And love… love was just the venom you never dared to inject me with.

Very strong and emotional, but it isn't clouded by the emotion, it retains a clarity which gives it it's strength. Excellent.
Congrats on Silver.
Good write.

Nicely done. I like this alot. The dominance of one half of a relationship over the other is clearly expressed. I especially liked the last two lines:
A touch was merely a warning, a kiss some exquisite torture
And love… love was just the venom you never dared to inject me with.
Great job.
