Poetic Monday - Rose Petals

Rose Petals

He loves her
He loves her not
She loves him
She loves him not

Whether lover family friend or foe
There’s always multiple sides to the story
Starting with impressions that pressure you
To make judgments
Judging qualities that compliment your character
Qualifying candidates to secure your insecurities
He loves her
He loves her not
So she drives herself through insanity
Abusing her intelligence
So arrogant
So careless
That she cares so much about what he thinks of her
She forgot to care for herself
She loves him
She loves him not
So he proceeds to prowl the Market of other
Wounded arches
Cupids arrow sparking his aim on the prize
Sniper rifle parking his target carefully
His only recipe to hide emotionally
Is dividing the open sea
So appropriately
Looking for closure. Trying to heal his injured heart.
They love
They love not
Two souls separated by destiny
The referee keeps referencing towards a better future
Well their past keeps shadowing any form of progression
So they digress
Whether lover family friend or foe
There’s always multiple sides to the story
He loves her
He loves her not
She loves him
She loves him not
