"No sister flower could be forgiven if
it disdained its brother"

Percy Bysshe Shelley, Love's Philosophy

Disappointment

You were so attracted to me
And even indicated so...
in front of many others
Yet I thought there was no
reason to react to it

The way I would have wanted
I thought you still had another...
The truth, I got it-
too late for at that time

Your persperctive of me
Had changed, and you have no idea
what that has done to me

Falling for someone like you
So shallow, not worth
my love, yet these feelings
are still such a curse!

You seemed so unique, so deep
not like most girls...
I imagined us together
in a love that would unfurl

Resulting in such happiness
Instead we made the wrong choice
now it's come to this!

Let us go our separate ways
and pretend this didn't take
place...
perhaps with another
more beautiful I'll save face

The taste you've left in my soul
is one which I abhor
So let us remember this

...Nevermore!
