Flower Petals

Every night before dawn breaks
I dream of love that bends
For it has love with an aroma like rose petals
And the whim of a summers breeze
Yet the love so fragile that storm or hatred breaks
The love me yes or love me not
Can tear flowers apart with such loving grace
Love me please is what i will say
But love can not be always sweet
For when the light shines on my face while morning awakes
The bitter taste of defeat hits my tongue
And i give in my final thought
Love cannot be awakened at such young age
For love is only a word not an action
I love you not, my flower petals fall to an end
