Quatrain of Decomposing Love

Decompose - resolve into constituent parts

What was it I saw in you,
just a few months ago,
before we decided
to make
hay,

You were hot; stirred my
libido like the turning
of an engine of
an old
Model-A.

We rocked, we excitedly
burned rubber off old
tires of irreverence
while sucking
toes,

But out of the blue, you
soured, dawned
horns, and left
me for dead to
decompose.
