WITHERING PETALS

The autumn of mistrust

Is here,

Things aren’t the same way

As they were,

For me, your eyes shine no more,

My heart dances not

On hearing you,

The glow of your face has dimmed,

The luster of your smile has faded,

Your laughter has lost symphony,

Your tears appear fake, shaded,

I never knew this love was

So fragile,

So fickle,

The lily of your remembrance

Is withering

Petal by petal.
