Broken Flowers

by Bryan   Jun 24, 2007


She sits, waiting up for him all night long,
listening to the radio playing sweet sad songs.

Supposed to be home, he has been off for hours.
while she sit in the chair, holding broken flowers.

He promised her he stopped cheating, but thats a lie,
when he comes home he will tell her fake alibis.

Had to work late, theres no other woman besides her,
but she reminisces back to that day last December.

When she found what he had done while he was out,
she knows thats what he is doing now, theres no doubt.

She has had enough, so she goes to pack her things
only leaving a note, laying under her wedding ring

He bought her a dozen roses, but they will go sour,
when she leaves him there, holding broken flowers.

    When I was through reading this piece, I writhed in disdain. It was actually bitter and sweet at the same time. Love indeed cannot live without trust...

    Nicely done, as always. =] ~Marian

    This piece is really beautiful yet so sad. I guess in love thats how it goes. Imagery and word choices were great.

    Excellent!

    How sweet, the lasst stanza was the cutest ^^!! I think (even though this is meant to be a sad poem), it was a sweet poem. For some reason the idea of staying for a loved one and holding broken flowers has this warm feeling. Call me wierd, but I think it was a wonderful scenario. Especially to write such a scenario...d.a.r.n. you're one lucky writer =)....neh, you're just gifted =)
