Apartment sitting gone wrong

I had the whole story laid out for you, but after reading it a few hours after I posted it, I felt a little better. I'm a forgiving sort of person, though I'm still wounded to my core that my babies were not taken care of nor any thought given to getting them back to me when all the drama started. Here are some pictures of the condition my plants were given back to me.

I understand and appreciate all sides and opinions but that does not negate the fact that no one took responsibility. Hell, even I took responsibility for my part in it. I just wouldn't do someone that way, no matter what was going on.

New poem

I finished this poem earlier this month. It's my first in a long time; feel free to leave a comment. I don't usually write poems that rhyme so I'd like to know what you think. Most of my work is more on the dark side so don't worry, nothing bad happened to make me come up with this ;)

Fading Memories

Remember me at the end of the day
when all the lights have faded
and the world turns gray.

Remember the moments when we felt free
when all was new and bright
and innocence was easy to see.

Remember the laughter from all that we shared
when talks were endless
and my soul was bared.

Remember how things changed from gay to pain
when our carefree days ended
and love turned to strain.

Remember your words that cut like a knife
when your pretty words faded
and all would end in strife.

Remember the day you broke my heart
when all we built crumbled
and my world fell apart.
