If you skipped over first, second, and third lines,
omitting the "ly", as to not sound snobbish
you would fall upon
last(ly)

where I, the speaker in this bitter, bitter speech would proclaim;
"Last(ly), I'd like to say..."

and whatever words fall into place at the time will fit
and permeate throughout that very room

collapsing would be histrionic, but appropriate, considering the following allegations
I. Complete degradation of subject
II. Abandonment of subject
brought upon subject pending the last two months of a clingy farewell

Oh, I, oh?
I'm trying to rearrange every moment leading up to this
my hand, sweaty and weak under the blaring spa lights
my knuckles-white, as I clutch the wheel going 90 down Rt. 18
for you, for you.

The last time we were together was a harrowing selfish night
for both parties
But, who ended up with a five star across the face and a petty crime turned federal?
That would be me.

The initial split caved what was left of us in.
And truthfully, my dear, I couldn't be happier.
