Wilted Rose

Your poetry truly
entices my lost soul
"Darling Recite few words of praise for me tonight"

I begged and pleaded you
In lonely moonlit nights
You turned away your gaze, the words fading with time

Slowly I lost my will
To live or seek your love
Because my heart refused to beat without your verse

I withered like petals
Of wilted rose, alas!
And now I stand alone, all night , destroyed in love
