I'm so parched that my tongue no longer dances behind my teeth

I'm wilting and I know it's melodramatic to say

I feel like a potted plant in the corner of your heart,
Watching you water the bodies of souls more fortunate than mine
And I'm wrecking myself against the walls of your white lifeless home
Asking if you're worth the slow suffering
Of desire of flowers.
