The Last Flower

"He loves me, he loves me not."
Flowers are slowly fading.
Petals are being thrown.
I wasted lots of beautiful flowers.

I always get "He loves me not."
I didn't give up, never!
So I keep on picking the flowers.
I feel guilty of venting my frustration to them.

Why can't he love me?
Why do the flowers prove it?
Every last petal says he doesn't.
Here I am so determined to change it.

I look around hopelessly.
The garden is devoid of flowers.
The last flower just lost its life.
It tells me "He loves me not."
