not

i rip the petal
let it fall to the ground
"he loves me," i whisper
hoping for a sound
"he loves me not," i say
as that red color disappears
along with the wind
my sanity becomes sheer
i stared at the last petal
hope tying my throat with a knot
but i forget, my hope will never be enough
so i say again "he loves me not"
