          I'd forgive such indifference;
          when it's medicine--your cure,
          for regrets from caring
          despite love's not assured
          I'd expect such escape;
          your bubble disappearance,
          when came wisdom, knocking doors
          to inhabit in your patience;

          instilled with blindness;
          perhaps, one mirror
          would awaken you early
          from my word-defined scissors;
          one rusted, old string
          you glued with your tears,
          though honesty I showed
          kept breaking its wings;

          so convinced, I've forgotten
          you're insensitive to obvious,
          illiterate to the actions
          my silence had in purpose;
          though blaming, I'm not;
          your loving manner tense
          but forgiving myself can't
          payback your intents;

          my smiles were drawn,
          my scripted response
          are betrayal to the truth
          you invested not once;
          for forever you swore
          but forever's not ours;
          since forever in my heart
          just died like your flowers.
