False Hopes          

Written by'''Gypsywolf''' as told by '''Tessira Soderstrom'''

/Tessira twirls a white daisy between her fingers, staring intently at the swirling petals.<br>
Darling, he said as he reached for her hand<br>
I love being near you, but please understand,<br>

It's her that I live for and hold in my arms.<br>
It's you that I dream of, so pulled by your charms.<br>

/Tessira carefully removes a petal, whispering, "He loves me."<br>
Darling, remember, you're special to me,<br>
But she is the woman I'm aching to free.<br>

/Tessira frowns and pulls another petal off the daisy, "He loves me not"<br>
Our future's uncertain, yes this much is true,<br>
But darling, I've never told one lie to you.<br>

/Tessira beams a smile, and kisses the petal she removes<br>
He touches her face gently, his arms wrapped so tight.<br>
Have sweet dreams, my darling. He kissed her goodnight.<br>

/Tessira rips a petal off the flower and grumbles<br>
If I could be two men, how happy I'd be.<br>
I long to be with her, yet long to be free.<br>

/Tessira pulls another petal off the daisy with a smile<br>
Sweet darling, he whispered, then kissed her goodbye,<br>
Please promise, no false hopes.<br>
My darling, don't cry.<br>

/Tessira stares at the last petal and murmurs, He loves me....not.<br>
/Tessira carelessly tosses the stem away <br>
