even with torrential rain
daisies refused to flourish
they wept, heads bowed
petals filled with pain
for the tenderness and love
left crunched beneath boots
as you walked away
you cared not about
cascading waterfalls
that crept softly from beneath lids
nor deception that began
as butterflies trapped
in my stomach’s pit
escaping as sobs between
gasping breaths of reality
you went about life
planting gardens with her
fertilizing new growth
upon infertile land
your warmth
evident in each springs new bloom
until the butterflies
found a new home in her
I heard the gate swing
in that familiar way on your return
heard you stop dead in your tracks
for there was no garden to tend
here anymore
just a slab of grey concrete
making the biggest statement of all
our love doesn’t grow here
anymore
