ineffable sorrow
in the grey skies
staring at love letters
stained with cherry wine
on the window sill
lies the white rose
a love not to last
on the floor, her clothes
clandestine tears
of a hopeless romantic
her naive heart
so easily enchanted
she's a liability
that none can take on
limerence fades
the light in his eyes, gone
failed expectations;
for she lives in a dream
holding on
to promises of serendipity
addicted to euphoria
to dilute her pain
watching tears fall
down the shower drain
nothing left now
so another drink she pours
then into a cab
only to be broken once more
