Cherry blossom

A poem

Blossoming love during a springtime stroll
Lost in the magic, you were pouring for me
Embracing until we hear April thunder roll
We parted beneath the cherry blossom tree

Falling pink petals as I was tripping over you
Our chemistry makes my world Crayola bright
Vibrant purple, vivid yellow, and summer blue
The way you looked at me was my favorite sight

Why did you let your cherry blossom girl blow away?
I bloomed while you couldn’t grow past being a seed.
Time marches on, and you remain stuck in your gray
You were what I wanted, but you weren’t what I need

Fall is coming, and I’m falling in love with me
Creating magic as I author the story of my life
Have you ever visited our cherry blossom tree?
Or did you cut it down with your winter knife?

This poem is the third in my series, where I title each poem after a track listing from Kacey Musgraves’s star-crossed album. I’m looking forward to sharing my creative challenge with my readers. Thank you for the support!
