Flowers Of Love And Tears

Until There's Nothing Left

This will be a very long poemlike story.

You have been warned.

~~~~°~~~°~~~°~~~~

Once there was a time when I was naive and lovestruck.
For I met guy who would joke, laugh and mock.
How can someone like him be my one true love?
I'll tell you the story, don't expect it to be a perfect one.

I was rich while he was not,

well that's what he said as we loved.

He didn't judge me by my money,

Which gave him points to  my heart directly.

For years  we've been together,

Not seperating even once,

Sharing everything together,

Giving everything to one another.

I would sing for him, I would care for him,

In exchange, he would protect me from everything.

Because of the love that everybody could see,

We were engaged when age said it could be.

So young, yet so in love,

No one could stop, our overflowing love.

Parents tried to pull us away,

But we became stronger along the way.

We told each other we should never lie,

Then he confessed that he was a prince,

'No wonder he could be so sly,'

I said that out loud,

Not thinking he heard,

But he did and he grinned,

Then he tickled  me to death.

I was perfectly content with everything I had.

But one day, he disappeared,

Along with my heart, I feared.

I searched high and low,

Searched everywhere  I could.

Then I realized the one place he would go.

I ran so swiftly to the place covered in wood,

Where we shared everything,

Moments and memories we will never exchange,

Not for anything.

I arrived at the tree house and saw him there.

He was crying and sobbing, leaving him bare.

I was shocked for he was the strongest one I knew.

I never saw this once,

For it was I who would do.

'I'm not the right man for you,'

He told me as he saw me.

'How can you say that after all we've been through?'

I was breaking,

And he saw that coming.

He hugged me so tight,

Not even explaining.

I was confused and so very hurt.

Then he said again,

'I'm not the right man for you,

Because there's a secret I haven't told you.'

'Then tell me now so we could start over!'

'But we cannot change when fate already took over.'

I stare with wide eyes,

Then sat on the ground.

I was calming myself down.

Not realizing then,

what he almost said out loud.

Then he coughed and blood showed up.

He fell to the ground and placed his head on my lap.

I panicked and called for help.

I called for a driver but he did not respond.

I called for the ambulance, but it was not fast enough.

'I will love you to the moon and back,'

He said that to me so passionately, so desperately.

He lifted his hand and touched my face directly.

'I'll only love you even if time stops my clock,'

He looked at me so dazzlingly, yet also so tearfully.

Then it clicked, my heart slowing down.

I knew why he said it, yet my heart couldn't comprehend it.

The thought tore into my heart, as I stayed there motionlessly,

Here I was, crying so helplessly.

'I'll love only you in this life,

And still only you in the next.

I'm sorry I couldn't stay with you,

But if I could,

You know that I would.'

I held on to his hand like a lifeline,

for a lifetime.

His hands went to my head,

Pulled it closer to his.

And at that moment we shared,

Our very last kiss.

I never accepted what had happened.

Even as he slipped too far from my clutches.

I held him so tight, desperate for help.

'Thank you for loving someone like me,

But don't let me pull you down,

Find someone else that will make you happy.

I won't get angry,

But I will be filled with jealousy.'

He chuckled lightly.

'Be free of me.'

Then time stopped as his hand fell, limp.

I stared at him in disbelief.

I cried and I wailed as people showed up.

Taking him away to a place where I didn't know he grew up.

The hospital.

I couldn't get over him, and I knew I never will.
I loved him too much, gave him everything that was real.
With my body aged and worn,
I will love you, until there's nothing left.
