Unfolded

Loved you
left love
in parking lot
folded pink
note in last
handshake
then turn
for once
did not glance
back as you
called out
only half-waved
knowing
you hadn’t yet
unfolded
the petals
of that deadly
flower
where I say
I am in love
leaving you
I am in pain
needing it
to be just me
not three
where I ask
for the forgiveness
you still
haven’t granted
me.
