She counts the days
One flower petal at a time
Living in the moment
Finding humor at times
In his silly ways
Other times she lets the tears fall
Will she ever understand the pull
Why must she care so much
For a man who shows no love
His words say one thing
Yet the actions will always reveal
The truth his words hide
May they both find what they are needing
As the days turn into lonely nights
As the petals continue to fall
One painful day at a time
Let the universe continue on
As winter turns to spring
Bringing back the warmth
Lifting her spirit back to life
Giving her the strength
To continue counting
One
Petal
At
A
Time
