Petals

by Aish   Jun 25, 2009


She plucks the petals one by one,
Lets them fall and hit the ground.
Tears fall freely down her cheek,
Sobs are choked-she makes no sound.

The chance she took was one by faith,
She'd said the words and meant them true.
Shared the secret of her heart,
and hoped he felt the same way too.

Saddened he frowned and looked away,
And she had seen his cheeks blush hot.
The last rose petal hits the ground,
She whispers softly: "he loves me not".

    *Aww..this is so sad. I can picture a little girl somewhere picking the petals of a flower crying her little heart out. I really thing you did a good job at describing this. Lovely word chice too :) *

    *I loved this stanza. One thing that bothered me a little was the first line. I would change "by" to "of". Sounds better that way. Other than that, I love how you tell this girl's story. So sad :( *
