What's wrong with my Amaryllis?

It's not even an Amaryllis. It's mistakenly called so but it's actually a Hippeastrum according to Wikipedia.
That's not the full complaint though. After blossoming into 8 beautiful orange flowers over two weeks, it's plunged into the depths of despair. I watered it, I talked to it, I put it by the morning sun, I pruned it (it fell on me several times), I drilled more holes into the ceramic pot so that it would drain properly and everything I could think of. Ok, I don't know much about plants. But now my Hippeastrum is propped up on two chopsticks bound by duct tape and it shrivels up a little more each day.
Tell me, have I failed you as a parent?
