The Tree

How do you heal when you are still bleeding?

How do you overcome pain when it is not receding?

How do you love without trust?

How do you build a home when the foundation is covered in rust?

You can structure a house from the ground, that's not stable or sound, but it's only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down

We can put a smile on but "we" are dying

You think my emotions make me weak because I am crying 

But I am at my brink and I am tired of denying

I want to love you unconditionally without trying, not based on convenience and functionality

Something more I can hold onto than sexuality

How do we make a future for us with no substance

If it doesnt matter to you my stance

How are you my knight in shining armour with no lance?

It was said that the tree remembers what the axe forgets, even with blood on your hands

You can't protect me because you stuck it in me and in time became the enemy 

Just because I stand tall doesnt mean my roots arent rotting from under me 

Im not the same anymore and I am not a better me 

You cut me down afterall

I am screaming but no one is in the woods to hear me when I fall
