"Flash in the Pan" is a poem featured within the "Love" section of Prevail. It's an abbreviated retelling of an experience I had with a former love interest. As the saying goes—if I knew right then what I know now... I'm happy love led me to where I am now.
Flash in the Pan
You came in—
A
nice guy,
Cute
and intelligent,
Constantly
sweet-talkin’.
But
it turned out to be doublespeak.
You
had my attention instantly;
Thought
I was fallin’ for you.
You
turned me on in all the right places,
But
then everything flipped.
The
potential was lost,
Gave
way to bullshit and childish games,
And
I lost interest just as instantly.
Too
bad.
But
I guess the signs were there
It
wouldn’t last.
You
came in and just as quickly went out—
Like a flash!
