"you fell first
and i followed,
tumbled like bricks
in the wake of your
admiration,"

is the story i told,
and you agreed,
not remembering
the night i've tried
to dissolve: when i
lay on your bed,
dampened sheets,
counted perfections,
cut my sleeve,

and realized—
admiration
was my muriatic acid
when you hardly
knew my foundation:
i collapsed like bricks
already unstable.
some old writing, salvaged a bit

the title is rather confusing, though.
is this a coming of age poem?
