Chasing Droplets (Other) by dinah

I am cursed. I am able to give any gift in the world yet receive nothing. I gave everything away in the past. Now I'm stuck in the middle, sitting on the petals of the dead orchid that you keep watering, just so that I have the illusion of life. Give me one thing back - my body, With that I will acquire the freedom I desire.

i like the overall sentiment. this feels like it hasn't been edited yet. write it however you like, but i would write it:

I am cursed. I give
yet receive nothing.
I gave everything.

Now I'm stuck, sitting
on the dead orchid petals
you keep watering
for the illusion of life.

I desire freedom.
give me back
my body.
