The Delicate Flower

She was a delicate flower that most men wanted to pluck,

Her mother would always tell her to careful and guard her heart but she always thought her mother was a bit paranoid.

She would often get chased, sniffed, and her pictures taken when it was day because that was when she blossomed but she never understood life as it was, she never saw what her mother saw.

One day she met someone, he was sharp and felt a little dangerous, not like the other flowers she knew from the garden and her attention was caught from the moment she saw him.

She would often wonder why he was so complex, he had nuts and screws and he wasn’t as colorful as she was but all she dreamt of was fixing all his broken parts.

She would often get angry when he would touch and trim the other flowers but would pay no attention to her and she wished and hoped that just maybe he might see her.

Her mother noticed her falling for him and would warn her against it but what did her mother know? she was in love and her mother couldn’t have understood how cold he felt when he touched her while passing.

He finally saw her one day and she was the fairest of them all, he couldn’t understand why he never saw her and he imagined the day he would get to pluck her.

They got closer and closer and she was hopelessly in love, she gave him all she had to give but one day when she wasn’t looking he plucked her and she was taken away.

She screamed and cried, filled with regret but it was too late.

Her mother was right and she spent the rest of her life withering alone.


Thank you for opening this box of passion

Wow, @khaleesii, after the last few sentences I felt my heart skip a beat, maybe I have fallen in love, why didn't I find you sooner?

Love they say can not be perfectly understood. She wanted him to see her so badly and yet his unknowing ignorance left her heart broken. I can't blame her, I would have felt the same way too. I'm truely sorry for her and a little tear just dropped from my eye(maybe I'm being too extreme now 😂😂).

But for real, this story is amazing.

😆 you've found me now.
Only if he never saw her, maybe she would have been better off.

Thank you for reading

I'm glad I did eventually,

Only if he never saw her, maybe she would have been better off.

Maybe and maybe not, she would have probably been heart broken and be in a bad state.

Thank you for sharing

What an allegory! It's the beautiful ones that gets plucked off first. Sad but that's life.

A beautifully written piece. Well done. 😊

I wish she had listened to her mom. What do we know as Ladies? We think mum is wrong, old, and doesn't understand how we feel about the people we are crushing on.

Nicely written as always

Most mistakes I've made if I had listened to my mother I wouldn't have done it.

I guess it's mostly us ladies trying to prove a point and yeah she wouldn't have ended the way she did if she listened.
