Darling

Beautiful darling girl of mine, or once you were, 
Yet passing time and honed fatigue dissected 
Molecules of latent loving down in shock 
To a relative surrender unexpected. 
All hopeful advances spurned, the lover's 
Lissom kiss, and itself drained ice white, 
Carnivorous with no teeth and ghostly lips, 
Slid into the cheap seats, out of sight. 
Beautiful darling girl, or once you were, 
Are you more the one and only thing 
To light my melancholic dimming life? 
Am I no more your once and future king?
