My Cardinal Sin

There's a cactus in the corner of the room

A housewarming gift from you, I forget to take care of it

Every time I don't remember it needs food,

Somehow it still blooms, it doesn't seem to need me much

Still I feel a little guilty not to act like

Maybe I should give it back, I wonder am I just scared of it

It's just as easy to forget that it's sufficient on it's own

And it's resilient and other people water it too

Sometimes I am unaware of other people standing there

As I get caught in a moment
