Fading Flower Poem by Shobha Nair

Fading Flower



I looked at you longingly
Expecting to embrace me
A blank wall stared back at me
Asking me who are you?

With tears in my eyes
I murmur 'who am I to you? '

With no regrets you answer,
'I am a butterfly free to
suck nectar from
Any flower.

My day should be filled
With happiness and adventure
And new sights each day.

I love humanity but not you
We can share home
And nothing more'

I stared at him in painful disbelief
My eyes flooding with tears

Was I some Flower
In his life
To be used and thrown away?
