![]() The Last LimeA Poem by Efxaris Arampatzi![]() A symbolic poem about love, loss, and resilience, "The Last Lime" uses the life of a lime tree to reflect the struggles and emotional journey of overcoming difficulties.![]() A lime tree named Efxaris Once stood in an unknown time Full of green, a masterpiece She longed to grow, without a missing lime The couple who grew her, through their strife Knew deep down, they'd lost the light of life Separation came through, with limes gone missing Sixteen years of love now distant, dismissing Efxaris, though loved and cared for Was never watered as she deserved She drank the salty water from the floor Paying the price, losing limes she preserved Many limes fell, but one remained And she held it close for the love she’d gained The mango tree, who once walked her twice Had grown bored and took her last slice The last lime fell from the tree "That's it! I'm done with this life!" said she Then, waking scared, with trembling breath, She whispered, "It was all a bad dream, correct?"
