Desire Wrapped Around The Vine

See that slender tree standing there shooting upward in the air with vine pointed towards the sun and leaves falling abundantly to the ground, the roots are planted firmly in the ground and the vines wrapped closely around the bud absorbing all the energy oh what cruelty awaits thee Layers and layer of vine Warped around the slender tree Sucking the life out of the trunk The nutrients are gone and and the bark stares frantically in the dark I grab a knife and start cutting them way And at last the misery suddenly fades away And the tree could breathe fresh air Desire is wrapped around the vine You have got to leave that place Before the wind sets in.
