He Loves Me He Loves Me Not

_____________________________________

He loves me, he loves me not he

Loves me, the white petals tell me

As they drift slowly to the ground

Falling to earth without a sound

Scattered all around, telling me our loves agree

*

No answer from the yellow core

The flower is useful no more

Have I wasted all its glory

Confirming my own love story

No longer in the garden for bees to adore?
