All my love

I made her a cup of coffee,

sweet and creamy, as she likes.

I picked her favourite flowers,

green and blue to match her eyes.

I baked her warm, French bread

using the most famous recipe.

I painted her a picture

of an endless, wonderous sea.

I sang her sweet melodies

that floated like a kite.

I knitted her a sweater

to keep her warm at night.

I gave her all my love,

my sweet heavenly maid.

I gave her all my love,

and how was I repaid?

She did not drink my coffee.

She did not smell my rose.

She did not eat my bread.

She did not look at my picture.

She did not listen to my song.

She did not wear my sweater.

I told her, 'I love you',

and she did not reply.
