Falling Away

teeth grazing her skin

breathing the beauty

of her fawned eyes

and lustful sins.


these screams ignite

mocked importance

while your love for her

blossomed through night.


refusal to compete anymore

no longer your first choice.

holding arrant blindness

to a love that is now our chore.


choking on that picture i so grieve

fancying your poetic tongue.

you implied i was unprecedented

should never have been so naive.


my sweet darling

if i am insufficient

you're not worth my time

no matter how hard i've been falling.
