Daisy Chain

She loves me; she loves me not, she loves me? Daisy petals fall softly to the shore from its golden heart; one by one, I tore to land, silent, foretelling washed to sea. Discarded, as was the delicate chain fashioned with innocence of virgin love. A worthless offering you disposed of; then laughed while staring at my tears of pain.

Whoa! This one closes with a powerful line! From such a sweet, innocent start to that dull thud of the gut-punch landing. Artistically penned, Terry! ~ gw

Yes, I thought it was getting a bit too sweet for me, so I twisted it at the end; thanks for the visit, Gershon.
