That sultry day in a
quite sudden way—
I found myself in the pit
of your uncertain affection
in my genuine confession.

I was totally a fragile
leprechaun that once
caught can reveal something
hidden that only one or two
can see—you did caught
my heart and soul but sad to
say I haven't caught yours.

But why did you give me
a bunch of scented lei
herein were your bundles of
smile, gentle touch and those
nestling concerns knowing that
I'm so pristine and easily broken.

You planted a hoping seed
in me, gave it sunlight and
watered it but as it grew, only
then I realized that I was meant
to be cut down, left wilted and
broken just because you're too
scared to be my trunk.
