Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Cut Down

I cut down my lilac today,

Cuz allergy my true love had

To the lilac and would not stay

If the lilac stayed, I felt bad.

But did what I thought I need do,

Got my electric clippers and

Cut down that lilac, I felt blue.

Tears fell on my murderous hand

After that awful deed was done.

My true love breathed sighs of relief,

And again was a happy one,

While I remained one filled with grief.

I wish my lilac still did be,

Cuz it never cheated on me.
