dead flowers

When the petals of the flowers in my heart fell and you thought it was a seasonal thing
I said they might need help
The flowers are dead now

I thought you were busy when I stopped playing guitar and you didn't notice
When you don't wait for me to sleep and doze off
I learned that you can sleep without hugging me

You jumped over a full suitcase in the middle of the room
The suitcase we took with us when we went to Istanbul
I never thought that one day I would fill it alone

Which t-shirts should I put in?
You bought this when we first started dating
I had this on when we first made love
This is the skirt that the shopkeepers tricked us into buying with nice words during our holiday
I wore this dress when I met your mother
she liked it

When I felt nauseous, you said the food might spoiled.
I hadn't eat anything that day
When I said I was dizzy, you said it would be better if i sleep
I wasn't get out of bed

When I became a stranger in the house,
I hoped we could meet again
Now I think If my roommate, whom I haven't met yet, got sick, I would take care of him.
I know you won't notice I'm gone
I left the stuffs too
I put the only excess in that house in front of the door
I'm stepping out

Poetry is expression and you put it all out here. Life, love and heartbreaks. The hardest to come to terms with and but life it is. You did so well here to bring out the feelings and emotions from the depths of your heart. Dead flowers may be, one day it will bloom again! Thanks for sharing, berenongur.

Some flowers are not suitable for some soils. Some flowers do not like sunlight. I am sunlight and I cannot find myself in the winter. Maybe some flowers should not bloom. Thank you, I am glad you liked it, your ideas and feedback are always important.

Welcome friend

As time progresses, we find that the relationship we thought would last forever was not meant to last forever. I admire your strength in leaving. Sadly, flowers like people have their season and the end of it they expire. They may bloom again, another time, another year, but there is no guarantee. Love and loss are part of life and we need to be careful whom we give our heart and our love to. Not everybody who says "I love you!" means it, sadly. If they did, they would show it through the care they gave us when we needed them most. Respect and admiration for walking away and I pray that you find real, pure, true, genuine love on your journey. Admiration also for the wonderful poem you have penned and how you expressed your feelings so poetically. Well done, dear poetess! Be proud of you Thank you for sharing...

You can't stay in a place that is not suitable for your season. This has nothing to do with power, you have already been pushed out of the house. Your words are very beautiful Marie, thank you very much. You have no idea how much these little gratitudes of mine mean

Most welcome always, dear poetess....

Too often, the sheen wears off of things. A brass cup, we can polish. Relationships aren't so easy, and may not be worth the effort. Love and losing love promotes more written word than probably any other event in life. Clearly, a lot of cupids aren't good at their jobs. Your words are sad but true to life.
