Wilting Lillies [My Mistake]

I was water
Spilling through  
Our broken
Leaving the lilys
To wilt  
   
Play with fire
And
You’ll get burned
Were words I learned  
Whilst finding myself
Weaved
Into the arms
Of another    
   
A stale embrace
A bittersweet taste  
Lead to the leap
From quacking grounds
Into the midsts
Of my mistake  

It is mine
And  
Mine alone  
Though now I know the weight  
Falls heavy upon two    
I hate myself  
For straying from you  
   
But  
Long have the waves  
Been calling my name  
And I caved
Bent to Heed
Their beckoning    

It had been a lifetime  
Since I tasted salt on skin    
So my selfish hunger  
Overcame me  
And
I gave in    
   
Now the water
Is all but lost    
For the shelf-life
Of our broken vase  
Wilting Lillies were the cost  
Of my selfish mistake
