the wilted flower

disappointment.

small. sad.

i was ready.

i came prepared.

but this isn’t what i wanted

I sighed.  I giggled.

So you snapped.

and forced.

  and held.

    and choked.

“it won’t happen again”

meek.  weak.

you gruffed, and grunted.

and moaned.

and i was still.

lifeless.  on my back.

so i peered at the nightstand,

and your wilted flower.
