flowerpot woman
Location
i am a flowerpot woman.
i am grown from a seed,
a tiny speck of life
with the promise of, one day,
becoming something beautiful
and without purpose.
you give me life,
fill my veins,
until i am left to adorn your shelf
so that i may bring beauty to your life
with nothing left to keep
for my own.
i am a flowerpot woman
and i will, one day,
wither
and die
as the house plant you've made me to be.
but when winter thaws
and it is spring once more,
i will grow.
my roots will overtake you
until you scream
like i could never.
