The Garden Of Love

A flower oh so rare

Just one amongst a garden full

Gleaming bright like a star

Impossible to deny its pull

Caving to its beauty

Set on to find the seeds

After years of search

Heart finally found what it needs

It starts with excitement

Grows into a beautiful bloom

With lush leaves unseen

Nurtured by everything it assumes

But time of course takes its toll

Once you have it, it fades away

What once was everything in the world

Slowly becomes a far and distant sway

One missed watering

A harmless slight

Surely tomorrow

It’ll regain its might

Forgetting to nourish

Neglecting to tend

Assuming its resilience

Would never bend

But with wilted petals

It whispered goodbye

It couldn’t survive

Even though it did try

In this bittersweet garden of love

A lesson to be learnt

Just like flowers without enough care

Bonds too can be burned
