a poem - loves me, loves me not

PETAL SONG

Loves me, loves me not

Each petal picked

With longing

Seeking reassurance

While plucking away

At beauty, sing-songing.

A relatable trope:

Love unrequited

Hearts in pieces,

Pieces created unfitted.

Loves me, loves me not

Petals discarded

By the smitten.

Not meant to be

Some other lifetime

In the stars, but unwritten.
