A flower given at the park
A fleeting kiss shared in the dark
A whispered vow of love spoken
The pain and hurt of life broken

The flower blooms in the dark night
The fleeting kiss is brought to light
A whispered vow of love returned
The pain and hurt of life unlearned

The flower loses just one petal
The fleeting kiss begins to settle
The whispered vow of love grows stale
The pain and hurt of life unveiled

The flower wilts and then it dies
The fleeting kiss becomes as lies
A whispered vow of love broken
The pain and hurt is love’s token

this is deep. i love the way you describe this relationship as a cycle. like the saying goes "what goes up must come down". all relationships don't last forever and it does seem like a endless circle with no definate start or end. good job. i like this peom. i especially enjoyed your choice of words.

The only critique I have is in the last stanza you have written..Something about it feels off... I dunno... but I absolutly loved the point of this. It was really well done.

Adam, outstanding piece of writing here. You should be really proud of this. The expression is amazing and it had me captivated the entire time.
Great work on the meter and imagery. Hope to see more soon.
