Oh so dainty, the flower left.

Uprooting herself from her soil.

For she was seeing others, better or worse than me.

I knew of course, but it had to end.

For our agreement shouldn't let her love extend

To those I not know of

And so I pulled her stem up.

Attempting my best to remove her, as she truly was a form of weed, stopping other flowers from growing.

But alas, I had not the heart

But alas, I damaged her with my efforts

And so, with a damaged stem, the scar nearing the root,

She left.

And now, she'll be more than my color

And now, she'll be her own.

Lovely, she'll be

If only I could see

But I'll never see her again
