I sit in your room
Pretty and new
Because you're therapist said
I could light up your gloom
And maybe bring you some joy
But it's been a week now
And joy has faded out
You don't seem to be happy
any
more
I try to be more
But that's all I can do
When I don't have any water
I'm a little thirsty
It's alright
But how do I make you happy
When you don't feed me
Or give my any light
You know your LED bulb
Isn't the same as the sun...
right?
Not mentioned,
You haven't showered in a week
And dude, you're starting to reek
In fact
I don't think I've seen you leave your bed
Your therapist said
"Take care of the plant
Like you take care of yourself"
And I'm dying now
Let the crowded air out
I'm suffocating
Turn the heat off
I'm flaming
Let the light in I'm starving
Water me please
I'm rotting
So are you
I see your roots bloom
Underneath you
No wonder your can't move!
That screen is your light
The only thing that feels like sunshine
When you never see the sun
And forget you are someone
You never eat food
Must photosynthesize
But that light
In your phone
Won't help much
I guess it's enough
To keep you alive
But how do you get water?
You never shower
You never think
Maybe that energy drink
Is enough
You're alive
I suppose
But what of the fungus that grows
And mold between your leaves
Who weeds?
Who tends to your garden
While you are away?
Who weeds out your depression
While you lay all day
I'm wilting
And so are you
It's all we can do
To just survive
So I guess we will sit back
And die
