The plant that died

We met and became friends
and the seed was sown.
With constant love and care,
into a promising plant, it was grown.

With each passing second,
the plant grew stronger.
With every ounce of care
it's roots grew longer.

The harsh winds of misconception,
it faced without a scratch.
It grew so strong that even
storms of distrust were no match.

Then came the end
of a bond so pure.
You wanted to quit
& you wanted it no more.

You uprooted the plant
& left it in the scorching sun.
I watched & cried in vain
as the dismal act couldn't be undone.

I called and called
but you never replied
and our beautiful plant
had finally died.
