" A Flower "

If I were to take a flower

softly hold it in my hand,

then crush the petals callously

would you finally understand,



If I tilt my face into the rain

and sigh as it gently falls,

then curse the wind it floats upon

would you understand at all?



If I saw a butterfly on wing

admired it's beautious hues,

then took it's life would you understand?

would you my love ? would you?!!



My love for you was a flower

my heart and soul the wind and rain,

my faith in you like the butterfly,

lies dead now knowing no pain..

Author's Notes/Comments: 

We all begin love wide open, mind and heart. But some of us learn the hard way. My divorce taught me just how quickly someone you have loved for so long can just stop caring.....
