Many slips in between

My predilection for her was total.
A friend of mine came in as a rival.
As a shock came their wedding announcement.
Could it be possible that my averment
Of my background had pricked her on to this
Just as my possessiveness shown to her
May have pricked her on to her engagement.
Between grips and lips, there are many slips.
