Carnations

He loves you. It’s obvious

By the way he buys you roses for

Every birthday, Easter, Valentine’s.

With the way he fawns over you, calls

Every night without fail, visits every

Week at least – that is love’s peak!

Devotion is love’s calling card,

And he leaves it on your step

Each night before he goes.

Devotion and a rose–

But your love has

Always favored

Carnations.
