Mojo Memoir

I'd heard what she said
but I hadn't the sense
to proceed with a word
of doubt to deceive her.

Exchanged as it was,
the talking collapses -
tasting of fallen,
rotting distraction.

And it lead to the shaken;
the loose and bred gloom,
and days that grew longer,
grew twice as warm, too.

Yet I thought of them as
times of great change,
decided by me and
the terms I ordained.

The state of things stable,
with ordered affairs,
I spent a small salary
and enjoyed my time there.

Which brings us to present,
my speaking in verse:
which constantly bleed
from bright to bleak curse.

With head on a tilt,
I'll remember her face;
despite the poor state
of our final exchange.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem ends in such a weak way but I just totally lost the mojo I had for it right at the end there.
