    Loving You Is Like
    The Slow Death
    Of Cut Flowers:

    ^^An interesting way to start a love poem! For within
    these lines there is not only love but a slow desperation. Flowers when left alone we can admire and love them but the moment we cut it from its roots and bring it to our place...it withers-its beauty its color and the feeling it used to emit.

    A love like this always keeps us on the edge for we never know when it will walk out or die...you have penned this from an experience or one that you have lived with. Either way I liked :)

      Experience indeed, it was the beginning of the end of my first marriage.
