Like Adam and Eve,

He and I decided to be first;

Between love and hate,

There's a reason they call it a curse;

But, mom and dad didn't care to inquire;

He exchanged "remember when" for,

"Here we are now,"

And I swear when I met him, he was kinder.

I didn't care if he was good or bad,

Stung by this repellent need;

All those foggy nights watched through a veil,

I didn't doubt his fidelity.

Yet I'll stick around,

Vapor clinging to his breath.

I waver then wave him away-

Ties unfocused-

With a sweeping sashay,

I kiss the dream goodbye;

A funny little case.

Your funny little lie.
