the petals lied

he loves me.

he loves me not.

he loves me.

he loves me not.

he loves me!

she picked the flowers and threw them down on the grass, her back leaning against a tree. she gasped when she picked the last petal and she fully believed that the fates had destined them to be together.

she never imagined she would get mad at a flower. such a beautiful, earthly thing that symbolizes love and grace.

but there she was, years later, crying in anger, cutting the stem of every rose in sight. taking revenge on the lost hope it gave her when she was just a child.

the petals lied.
