Love’s quiet destruction, by Papaya

Love’s quiet destruction

Petals fall softly 'round

love me and love me nots

leaving something beautiful -

vulnerable

stripped

and bare

because this is what love does

it destroys

and I, a delicate beauty

shy as a tulip afraid to open

need some coaxing

I can feel your love, waiting

to destroy me
