All I saw was my vase, the one I gave you with love, carelessly lying on the floor, its roses withered and its leaves dead. I never doubted it, for you did to me exactly as you did to my body. You showered me with attention until my leaves were moist, then left me to die of a parched thirst for your care, until my eyelids were sore from weeping, until my soul became lifeless, yearning for your nourishment, begging you to quench its thirst as before.
