Unrequited Love

golden earrings
too extravagant she said
turning back on love

announced intentions
pouring his heart out to her
she turn and fled

Oh my, and he was only trying to do something nice to show his love for her. True, though, some people just can't open their hearts when faced with love. They turn and run.
