The gardenia's illusions
In a garden of love, it bloomed so bright, A heavenly gardenia, a sweet delight. Reassuring whispers, perfect communication, Like pollen to a bee, restoring elation. Once a lonely soul, lost without aim, Love took its hand, igniting a flame. A purpose reborn, with hope and grace, The bee found solace in love's embrace. But now the winds change, a cloud rolls in, Love wears a cloak, where darkness begins. No silver lining, just a storm on the rise, A love that deceives, truth veiled in lies. Like a chameleon's hue, it takes a new guise, Pretending to be what it idealized. But this love, oh, how it stings and hurts, Filling hearts with ache, tearing them apart. Promises broken, expectations betrayed, The bee in despair, its trust now frayed. Manipulation weaves a tangled web, Love's venomous trap, longing turns to dread. Gone is the fragrance of happiness once found, Replaced by the scent of roses, unbound. This love, a Venus flytrap, unforgiving and cold, A promise broken, a story untold.
