Flower of the Forsaken Love

A flower emerges amidst the pebbles Eyes behold, its beauty; its fragrance stronger than all else Its surface shinier than anything I’ve seen before It dances in the wind, standing where it dwells One unfortunate day, she caught my eye She, who was prettier than any flower could hope to be I had always been afraid of pretty girls But it was never this bad, you see She smiled, as if i were the only one she saw A jewel so precious, she was a living piece of art And her eyes shimmered beyond every star Even so, I knew my love was doomed from the start Our love was a bud on a deserted, desolate island It was sown; it grew, even amidst the gloom But as the dust storms triumphed; thirsty, our love was A flower that may never bloom I was entangled in a web as smooth as her hair Nothing could save me now, not even the gods above For I was the fool who couldn’t grasp Just because she smiled and blushed, does not mean she’s in love For my eyes are not for you, she said And told me about the one that flood her mind In depths of despair and hopelessness She left me, so grim, so petrified And yet, my heart yearned for her essence A girl; as obvious as the rain, as unpredictable as the weather She was the one who ripped my heart up The one who sew it back together
