Symbolic?

My flowers finally died. A week and three days they lasted. I changed the water, cut them back twice, but still try died. It seems so symbolic that they would last such a short time. As it mimics the relationship I had with the giver, beautiful for the time being, but then it died. I know that everything, in time goes away or dies. It's the circle of life, and the story of mine. I had Aileen throw them out. I just couldn't bear to be the one to do it. But there they went, swiftly, into the garbage. I feel like those flowers. Tossed aside and mostly dead inside. I hope this subsides quickly. I want myself back.
