Garden of Tears

It has been 83 days

83 days since I last saw you

Since you last saw my aching soul

I knew it was too good to be true

I met you at a garden, where I did most of my crying

It smelt like sorrow and looked like heaven

You were stepping on a rose

Damning its beauty

But I was admiring yours

You were distracted by my tears

I was the reason of my tears and sadness

Months later

I came back to the garden of tears

I cried

This time, you were the reason

I kicked the roses

I kicked them and yelled out "Why?"

Why did this happen?

I blamed myself for weeks

Till the truth came out

You fell asleep with another

And now I damn you

The same way you damned that rose

[Glen Yumang Manese]

The conviction in the lines of this verse... the reader is taken aback quite quickly... the voice is present... with anger and sorrow... the them with the rose works well in the lines of this write:

You were stepping on a rose
Damning its beauty

And now I damn you
The same way you damned that rose

Really sets the whole piece...
