ENDING LOVE SO SOFTLY

Duplicitous heart, my basket fills with flowers~

Dashed hopes of love's ending ever so softly~

Crushed against a painful breast with showers~

Tears cascading upon cheeks kissed by sun moistly~

End not my love under summers lovely bowers~

A promise of forever broken and cools the sun~

Time is stilled by treacherous lips, hope towers~

Happiness snatched amidst turmoil, love undone~

A heart grasping for relief from unrelenting pain~

Finds comfort cycling betwixt sunlit shadow and light~

The colors will return with time, all shall be again~

As love was meant, and claim the sun, making right~

Summer's might and beauty uplifting spirits anew~

To greatest heights of heart's delight renewed~
