This flower inside
my room is
beautiful and
the fragrance enticing.
But it's not
an indoor plant.
This flower is
not ordinary plant.
How did this flower
even get here.
Beautiful and fragile,
lovely and delicate.
How would I get
this flower out
of my room.
Can it survive
in a room all by itself.
Cannot handle
this flower all alone.
Seems like the
fragrance spreads
beautifully outside
the room.
My nostrils does
not resonates with
the fragrance,
but the flower
appeals only to
my eyes and
not my soul.
Even at this,
my heart aches and
hurts so bad,
for it cannot fully
open up to accept
the love of the
one who loves me.
She wants me but
I can never be with her.
My heart belongs
to another.
She is a beautiful
flower that belongs
to the outside garden,
not an indoor plant.
It can choke and
die inside the house
or it's poisonous pollen
will definitely destroy me.
Can someone,
anyone please take
it out of my way
