I whispered,
“please don’t leave me,”
and she stared at me.
Thoughts crashing
Over memories.
Restless.
I shouted,
“I beg your forgiveness,”
then, she started weeping.
Present defying
old yesterdays.
Helpless.
I waited for dusk
to rectify dawn.
But tonight,
every flower
will tarnish their own scents.
