Wilted

I am sorry I kept forgetting. I truly tried to get better. 

I did water one plant however. 

The only dead flower at home. 

The one you neglected. The one that you ignored. 

I kept on watering a dead flower. 

Had a hard time giving it up. 

I took it in my hands when I left you behind and I used my own tears when our well ran dry.   My salty tears turned memories sour. 

But, I still savor them in my loneliest hours.
