Amaryllis

I clench the already wilting flower,
in my hand.
"God dammit, it's happening again."

Each fail I cause, a petal falls.
"I seem to be on my last one."
Tears run down my cheeks and
it burns much like acid.
because I feel pathetic crying,
it hurts.

I now, hold the flower softly,
in both of my hands.
Glaring down below, at the shrivelled
Amaryllis.
I wonder, what I could've done;
to make sure it would have lived longer.

The last petal falls and
my pride falls along with it.
