Never Meant To Be

The vase, holding that single flower;
the first and final flower I received from you.

It no longer holds the beauty of before;
with a simple gesture, that one flower
(that held so many feelings in each petal)
flies to the floor; the tall glass vase,
crashing into a thousand pieces.

A few droplets of water,
(crystal clear, mixed with my tears)
scattered over the cold, pink tile floor.
I look at the fallen flower
and slump against the wall in despair,
Hugging my knees instead of you…

Alas, this love was never meant to be.
