Wrecked

Flying Down, 2006, by David Salle
Picture prompt: The Mag 136
 
A tumble, stumble
dip
down swirls of
orange(E) tangy
dreams
I spiral through,
a
nose-
dive
to hell;  
while you
glide away
in the plane
we once built.

Rewritten

I think I've written this poem before
so correct me if I'm wrong,
the one about the quaint cafe;
a lover's tryst amidst the throng

or should I say a mob it was
of eavesdropping ears
trying to hear three words
that could melt away the years

of relationships cheating
the signs don't always behave
one double-crosses the other
breaks promises they gave

and all at once commitment
jettisons from the heart,
all because two lusty souls
were uncommitted from the start.

Does this sound familiar?
I'm sure I've said these words
in perhaps another voice,
a common theme not unheard.

Prompt inspiration: 3WW (behave, jettison, mob)
