Poem Title:
Poem
The man I love doesn't know my name Conned What does that mean It means illusion and dillussion It means lies that live like a vine on a tree swirling around the trunk Fingering the branches Basking in the life force of the beautiful tree The vine It grows telling the tree they are lovers Entwining slowly and ever gently It grows The tree enjoys the company Thinking This is my friend my partner Let us join together Let us grow together Let us take up more room We will be more ...more leaves We can take in more light together!!! Till the tree starts to choke Just a little at first then more and more each day there is less oxygen Until it's lower branches start to fade It's Leaves are less green It starts to choke more And it turns to its so beloved friend and says I feel unwell But vine says Oh you are so beautiful So tall and gifted Look what poetic leaves you make Tree blushes and let's the vine hug it tighter And tree feels loved It says to itself I am needed I am essential Look how vine loves me look it hugs me holds me We are a true pair!!! But tomorrow comes and tree can't breath Tree says to vine I know you love me but can you gently loosen your hug because I am not able to breath Vine says You are my life You are my love Don't you love me? Am I not loving and holding and embracing you just as you needed? I am everything you said you wanted Tree can't argue but with every day grows weaker Unable to breath and no longer with enough oxygen It starts to fade Vine says Hey buddy look how full we are Man I feel great my leaves are super green I am reaching the sky with your help Look at me at the top of the world But tree is too weak to argue It whispers Vine I love you Vine says Oh man isn't this an incredible view and stretching further to the sun fails to notice that tree No longer answering Vine thrives and thrives and forgets to talk to tree Tree turns brown Vine notices tree is less attractive thinks it's age Vine feels vibrant and attractive and giant and unstoppable Vine thinks it has moved beyond tree Look at me know it thinks as it reaches for bigger trees Near by But then suddenly tree is cut down for fire wood and vine is cut back and cut down as well Crying out Why why why as it is hauled away
