The plants on my bookshelf can only stay alive for so long


Whether this is hopeless or not

Last night I dreamt about a nest of empty bottles under my bed

They would call at me, jump on me in my sleep

And they were constantly in my head

 

When I woke up I realized

The bottles were still there

Maybe by sleeping it off

I'll learn not to care
