Bordering on TMI....NaPoWriMo #21

Man Cave Houseplant
If I don’t get watered regularly, I shrivel up
I see you are dry and that could be you too
I’ve laid out water
I’ve pushed you towards it
But you are still dry
You are waterproof
Which makes me want to drown you out
From the plain toast sessions
Talking in reasons
And flat rhymes
Stand with me under the shower
Like we used to do
Where the water would bathe it all away
Sliding us together so succulent
Dripping with dew for each other
I promise it works
The day isn’t half done
We can have so much more fun
If you’ll step in closer
Give an inch and feel the spray
Even a light mist would
Help you stand up straighter
And reach towards the warmth
Of the sun just outside your window
