The unwatering
• Written by Kalligraphy
I was beloved, now I’m just something
Not nothing, but nothing worth hugging
Sitting outside, through days and nights
Through waves of light, dehydration in life
Peep the sky racing tonight, full of stars shooting
I onlook cars vrooming across the street, crushing
I’m sitting in my little pot of pottery, and honestly
Without any care, they strip me from my sovereignty
They kick me with their uncaring hands awesomely
Doing it unconsciously, not knowing I’m dying
Their haunting me, I can here them inside
Filling up their glasses, kids water, parents wine
I can never dine, why’d they forget about me
At first, the mother was jauntily hopping for me
Now she’s just forgotten me, I’m cotton teeth
I’m preserving my seed inside of me still
So when they see that I’m nothing, I’ll carry chil’
And they will populate the ground soil, for real
For now I’m still in awe that they silently kill
Saying nothing about me, I’m nothing, I’m filled
With hatred for them, I bloomed once, now I’m drilled
Into the fate of inevitable death of my own deal
I knew when I was growing up, we would would always pass
But I thought I’d have a grief from my owners at last
But no, I’m just gonna fade into the past
The unwatered petals of my own soul
The unwanted presence of me now grows old
I’m left sold to death, never to be told
That I’m loved, so just let me go
The unwatered petals of my own soul
The unwanted presence of me now grows old
I’m left sold to death, never to be told
That I’m loved, so just let me go
I’m a ghost, now I exist outside of my stem
Now I’m observing my dead body and then
I hear the door open, the father observes it
Saying, imma dump this out, it’s dead, it deserves it
As if I can prevent death and what’s occurin’
They take me out, all I can do is watch em
I sit sobbing for days, they stayed inside popping
Bottles, I’m awful, I’m floating with no throttle
No air or food that’s entering my body
Now I’m just nothing, something forever forgotten
They left me outside until I became rotten
What terrible beings, I’ll never reincarnate again
The next day I see that they bought a replacement
My face fell, at that moment I new their faces
To the fullest, their souls inside were the dullest
They never cared about me, they never wanted to
Now I’m drifting in a void, but now I’ll haunt em too
The unwatered petals of my own soul
The unwanted presence of me now grows old
I’m left sold to death, never to be told
That I’m loved, so they let me go
The unwatered petals of my own soul
The unwanted presence of me now grows old
I’m left sold to death, never to be told
That I’m loved, so they let me go
