Fall From Grace

It came unexpected

my sudden fall from grace

you told me you’d had enough

and needed your space.

Out of favour

I didn’t know what to do

for all my life had

revolved around you.

These feelings of inadequacy

are nothing new

I had always thought

you were too good for me.

Even though it was inevitable

that this day would come

it still can’t prevent me

from feeling numb.

Where I go from here

is anyone’s guess

but I do know that it

won’t be a simple process.

After investing so much time

in a doomed relationship

I don’t know if I will ever be

suitable for a new companionship.
