summertime galore | ✔

dead plants

plants hanging from my ceiling
the tan string being pulled on
by gravity

though they're drying
they're healing
though on the inside
they're dying

i water them with my green watering can
every week i make sure they're okay
and they continue turn brown
my heart turns grey

i try to keep them alive
but they're dead
and i can't change that
not for the greater good

i sink into my bed
knowing that they'll rot
inside their brown pot

i'll keep watering dead plants
till i die.
