We pull petals from a daisy <br />Just to read our fortune <br />And push lovers to their limits <br />Just to know our portion. <br /> <br />Alas! Love is chaos <br />It is burning, it is free <br />Its the kind of thing I'd run from <br />But its all that I can see. <br /> <br />I was floating by in comfort <br />And it crashed into my heart <br />When life comes unexpected <br />How am I to know my part? <br /> <br />Now I'm stuck here feeling dizzy <br />And I cannot find my feet <br />And its crashing down in torrents <br />So I'll just stand here in this sleet.<br /><br />Heather Marie Mortimer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pulling-petals/
