Broken Flower

I gave up
Immortality-
For your sake

We swam together
In liquid dreams

You smoothened
The frazzled edges
Of my polarized soul
And drank my love
Through the sieve
Of perfection

At first

But-
After slaking your thirst

You tore
The stalk of my emotion
And buried it
With-
The broken pieces
Of stained glass
From my soul
In the garden of pain and regret

And now
My heart
Lies
On the floor

Peeled open
Like a broken flower
