Fall From Grace

Don't ever lose the intensity

That made her fall for you

Passionately

Take this from someone

Who painfully knows and

Still very much alone.



Never take anything for granted

Soon you'll be unconsciously

Sowing the seeds of discord

Inevitably two more victims

To that insidious disease

Of complacency

For where there's no cure

Only an empty house

A dear John note

An unmade bed

Death wish considered

Best left unsaid.



Left you in the dust

Now in her rearview mirror

Intent on reclaiming her happiness

She had forgotten

That fierce independence

She let deteriorate

By relinquishing control.



She thought you knew better

Old age doesn't always

Equate wisdom

The spark had fizzled

She felt trapped

She wanted her freedom back

A return to those halcyon days

Before her eyes met yours.



Deeply wanting a reconciliation

But don't let the guilt

Of apologetic shame

Descend into half hearted attempts

Spilling with regret

Once you get her back.



All you ever dreamed about

Was meeting your twin

One that knew you

Like the back of her hand

But the hard work

Is just one part of the plan

Now you must keep it fresh

And perform what's in your power

Or in the heart of a higher source

To keep the love strong

And immune from the

Resentful unrighteous forces

That lurk in the subconscious.



I hope you realize

Its gonna take more than beautiful words

To arrive and stay

In the heavenly beauty

You once had in spades

Until you impetuously threw it away.



If you can't cut it

Best leave before

The diminishing returns

Settle into the process of decay

Deepening the disappointment

Leading to bitterness

Cause you can't expect her

To tolerate your bare minimum

Nor rely on tried and tired manipulations

Like the barrel of a gun

To your head

She won't fall the dramatics again.



The day will come

When you'll be admonishing

Self

For losing her

Despite the warning signs

You were freely given

But you were consigned

To be soundly defeated

By a haughty arrogance.



Such a travesty

You had greatness in your grasp

But pride provided the fall

And you're still trying to recover

From such an avoidable tragedy

While waiting in vain

For her to eventually call.



P 8 19 23.
