Failure

You placed her within your jaws You salivated and chewed With each bite, you ground her Smaller smaller smaller Into fine pieces, into the very elements She was composed of, then You devoured her One swift move, she was Washed away down your Long winding throat But she fed on the acid You used to burn her She devoured that and grew Grew grew, until she climbed Out of your mouth, broke Your teeth and she came back Fighting, for failure is no match For her.
