After two years
Of our friendship and love
You disposed of me
A fettered Rose
You left me
On the sidewalk wilting, drying
A side of you I had never seen
Like the back side of the moon
A shock that froze me
You let the wind
Take each petal from me
One at a time and painfully so
Stripped me of any friendship and love
I had bared my soul to you
You left but only the stem
Naked, exposed and crying rain drops
I washed away and disappeared
You never even noticed
As my last breath of love for you
Echoed three last times resounding
Till the last whisper that was me
Left only autumns scarlet leaves
A silent reminder
Of the everlasting unrequited love
That I had breathed
At that moment in time
For only you

i know exactly how you feel about this one. i had the same thing happen to me several times and i know how it feels. to be honest some of it is a little cliche - something we all struggle with i know. but it has raw emotion in it and that definitely counts for something. so let me say firstly thanks so much for entering and putting your heart and soul into this piece. and good luck
and DO keep writing!
