I play dead

Today I received a bucket of flowers

They were alive for a few more days

Then died and I had already empty pots

Of wishes and expectations with no plan

To water and protect them from wither

I tried to sew some fresh plants

Of the beliefs and reconstructions

Then I met a deadly plan

Within contradictions and instructions

I play dead until they're gone
