Whispers of Deception (Shards of The Soul, #5) Pt. 2

I tried to preserve the wilting flower,
Tried to protect it from its pain.
I did my best but failed at love,
And everything with my heart is to blame.

A poignant, concentrated continuation that uses the wilting flower as a tender symbol of a love the speaker could not save. Its brief quatrain form intensifies the confession: each line carries regret, devotion, and the heavy sense of personal blame with striking simplicity.
