One.
Petal.

One.
Flower.

One.
Love.

One.
Answer.

One.
Just one.

One.
Only one.

One lone petal gracefully fell to the floor boards.
Another petal follows behind.

He loves me not?
No he must love me.

Pluck. Pull. Pick. Drop.
He loves her not?

But after all of this-
Well. He must love her then?

Surely he would not leave her,
No, he could not abandon this love.

One final petal.
One final flower.

One final love.
One final answer.

One, just one.
One, and only one.

The last petal fell to the floor.
He loves me not.

He loves me not?
Why does he not love me?

The stem of flower now on the floor,
And she now too, upon the floor.

Her warm tears that soaked her cheeks,
Her hair now fallen into her eyes.

The not he left, lay beside her.
His answer was very clear.

Should the flower end in "He loves you"
Then it is meant to be.

Should the flower end in "He loves me not"
Then it is not meant to be.

Loves me and Loves me not,
Lay all around her now.

The aroma was sweet,
It's magic was not.

What was left for her now?
No one, nothing. Zero.

One petal in her mouth.
One flower without petals.

One dead love.
One tragic answer.

One.
Not one.

Just one empty heart.
Just one empty life.
