My succulents died today
Clearly pouring stale pineapple water in the soil was a failed experiment
I tried planting it in fresh soil
Tried to water it
Tried to give it some sun
But the leaves
Kept
Falling.
I didn't even ID it yet.
It was so soon.
I thought I could nurture nature with her own remains
But what goes around
Doesn't always come around
Like human 'love'
Not the kind you shower upon puppies and kittens
Or cows and horses for that matter
No.
That does come around.
I'm talking about the one that fades
When you stop answering calls
Or returning them
That phone keeps vibrating and ringing it's ringer out
Yet you don't ****** bother.
Jeez it was just a cigarette
Why does my poetry turn out so dark.
