The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Burn

How ironic it may seem
that you've been caught up in your own defiance
Bridges are burnt, love is faded
and you've lost your strongest alliance

When will your withered tree come into bloom?
Or will those leaves just fall about
as your words seem to do

Whatever your reason is, or rather your excuse
It will never seem to change - not even for a day

Lost in your previous world, you'll forever remain recluse.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
