The flowers on my wallpaper
have withered and died.
Their petals cover my floor
because he loves not.

He doesn’t come around
or call me anymore.
His heart has turned cold,
and left my love to rot.

When the last petal in this
senseless games has fallen,
then I will know his love
will never return to me.

The force that took his love
was just too strong for me,
and for me to live a loveless life
will be the new decree.

But just a rhymer like by chance..."

Very well done, Abigail! I like the way you made that wallpaper come alive. But I hope you (or the one in this poem) can someday sweep those petals out the door, and look for new a bud.

May a new love come into your life and just sweep you off of your feet!

This came across so very sad.

I know this feeling so well...*sigh*
Nice write.
