Slowly Vanishing

I was stupid to have fallen for you.

There’s no way to look around it -

I was like a puppy…

I was lost and I

imprinted on your debonair and every move.

Cupid laced the air with all the tinted pollen of you...

and I was just a honeybee-

a guppy baited by your

player attitude.

*

I like to think I liked the chase, but

the truth is that

the possibility that you could love me

was like a drug to me -

and while I thought that I was keen and so acute,

following my dream of you was damaging,

and I was slowly vanishing…

disappearing much without a trace

or print of blue.

Author's Note: Yes - I cheated with this one. I wrote it awhile ago and posted it to my TikTok account, but it's never been shared with Vocal. :)

This poem is part of my "Ghosts of Relationships Past" series, where I reminisce about old love experiences of mine, gone bad. :) ❤️ Follow for more drama!

This is Poem #7 of my personal "Poem-a-Day" challenge. ☺️ Can I keep it up? We shall see. 🫣 So far, I keep falling behind. 🫡
