Cacti

You bought me cacti one day

and told me it would be a symbol of our love,

withstanding every harsh environment

unlike the fragile roses which wilted within the week.

I never told you though,

that I ****** at keeping plants -

I either watered too much or too little.

In less than a year, the cacti were dead

and along with them,

your love for me.
