nothing but scattered petals and a lonely stem

flowers woven together,
perched upon your head.
the stems a tangled mess,
a chaotic beauty holding
the fragile jewel-like
centrepieces at ease.
even if i were to pluck
each and every petal that
rests atop your head saying
a short rhyme i've had
memorized since kindergarten,
she loves me, she loves me not.
i can simply look into your eyes
and feel my heart plucked
from my chest,
she loves me not.
