In his professed love, a truth untold,

His heart, a captive of the water lily's hold.

Weekend rendezvous, a fleeting charade,

Sunflower's presence a bittersweet masquerade.

 

He swears his commitment with a soulmate's guise,

But the ties that bind are veiled in lies.

A desperate bid to reclaim what's gone,

Yet his loyalties lie where they've always shone.

 

Sunflower sees through the facade, the charade laid bare,

His heart was never her's, a truth good enough to bear.

Ghosted long ago, his memories a distant past,

Now he pretends solace in a wedding that won't last.

 

The water lily blooms in his embrace,

Their love a tapestry woven with grace.

Marriage bells chimed, a family complete,

But his shadows of deceit, he refuses to retreat.

 

Sunflower knows him better than he knows himself,

A bond broken, a shattered soulmate's self.

He offers false hope, a misguided ploy,

But her heart seeks truth, a chance to deploy.

 

No magic can mend what was never true,

Sunflower's heart now open to skies of blue.

He lingers as a lily's lover, a fleeting guest,

But sunflower stands firm, in her truth she'll rest.
