Broken
Antonio waited,
And waited,
But she did not come.
The note he’d left was now gone.
Stolen by a jealous friend,
Ro was hers,
That wouldn’t end.
A broken heart,
A tear was shed,
He dropped the rose he had in hand.
“She didn’t come,”
The thought was sad.
His heart grew heavier with every step.
He let out a shaky breath.
Feeling broken,
Weary,
And sick.
His stomach heaved,
The nausea rolled in.
After this he had enough.
He slammed the door,
His voice was rough,
“Leave me alone!”
Was his demand.
“Ro, why didn’t you come?
Don’t you remember exploring the ship?
Climbing the mast?
Challenging the wind?
Don’t you remember dancing at the ball?
Our hands intertwined,
To the music we swayed,
I told you how much I want you to stay.
With tears in your eyes you told me you couldn’t.
I’m promised to the princess,
It’s wrong,
And you shouldn’t.
But I didn’t care,
It’s not her I love.
So, in the greenhouse I left you a note.
Did you not see it?
Or was it ignored?
I’m under your spell,
Don’t you see?
You’re the one who does this to me.
Luciana’s nice,
But she isn’t you.
Ro, my heart aches for you.”
