i killed my cactus
distressed and helpless
it'll never survive regardless
i watered it more than i should
for some reason it withstood
as more affection is never no-good
but intentions are often misunderstood
one time i changed its ***
and had a second afterthought
i then changed its soil
yet i'm stuck in a turmoil
these weren't the changes i seek
for i loathe its spines
so cluttered and bleak
maybe i should have gotten
a tiny potted succulent
or plants with stinger
perhaps i never even had
the green fingers
