You have this plant

And you nurture it

Watch it grow

With pleasure

You gain

It gains

And this is good

Then one day

It turns its leaves away

It turns its roots away

Away from the sun

Away from the soil

Away from your face

And you do your best

You try your hardest

To bring it back

To keep it with you

Pouring water like tears

But no matter what

It just dies

And that’s life

Something changed

Nothing you could give

Was ever enough

In the end.
