I see now that you never loved me
Even now I think
You try to believe you still can
one day--
Love me
But my love for you was like a flower
Several little petals
The kind that
If the wind blew,
Would float away
It wasn't the kind of flower you usually shopped for
But it was beautiful enough
So you put the flower on display
One that took up enough space
So that you noticed it everyday
you never loved me
you loved the way I made you see
Yourself
And on days you needed to love yourself
You plucked a petal
You gathered them in a glass box
But when the glass was full
It broke
And when there was nothing left
But an ugly stem--
You never plucked again
