Analysis of Falling Petals
Asking for support and not your agreement,
I looked into your eyes
Seeing rejection, a stare blank and cold,
all connection was untied
Words became hollow, our rose only thorns,
a new distance did we share
Alone while together, the ending in sight
—reality laid bare
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)
