Butterfly

She kept silent and closed her doors.
Hoping her absence might grow his heart fonder.
But the butterfly for all his sweet needs,
Found another flower!

Your poem is a sweet delicate reminder that playing games may backfire! Absence does not always make the heart grow fonder & you've argued with the oldtime axiom in a convincing way! Love the imagery you use in this poem! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Applies to just about every male-female relationship in existence.
A truly lovely metaphor!

the imagery is brilliant, drive us back to our past where we had encountered such phase. "But the butterfly for all his sweet needs,
Found another flower!"-- loved the way you curtained so many emotions in this line...I'm not getting the words to describe what I felt. Amazingly written!!

Then when there was nothing left
She delighted & settled for second best".......inspired by you & this poem you have just posted....N
