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.
