Dear an ex who I have forgotten your name,

I wonder if you knew that you made the lilies wilt the day you left 
not the lilies you gave me but the ones I gave you 
they were bright, strong and beautiful 
warming our house with promise 
I placed them inside the door where you dropped your keys after a long day  
ensuring that you would see them and perhaps smile
but that day, there were no keys to drop 
as you held them tightly in your grip when entering 
exclaiming that you were through and life wasnt fair 
stumbling over day drinking breath that you couldn't do this anymore 
The lilies sat beautifully as all the flowers in your home had 
waiting for a deep sigh and apology 
but none came 
I wonder if you knew the lilies died that day 
the day you left and no more flowers wanted to come in your home 
I wonder if you ever realized there were flowers there in the first place
I myself have chosen to remember the flowers 
the bright, strong and beautiful lilies
but I happen to forget your name
