Love Gone Pear-shaped – Heartbreak Poem

This was before it all went pear-shaped
 before I broke my legs
 and you turned blind.
 Overnight, you might like to think.
 
Like a busy little bee
 I'd buzz around like a robot 
 cradling the flowers
 you, the orchid, bang in the middle.
 
I should have known
 you'd never count the petals with me
 you'd groan when the weather turned cold,
 and my wings fell off. 
 
In the end, I turned ant and crawled away
 through the blades of grass
 the flowers tending to me,
 their petals mending my wings in the wind.
