Tree

Tree I thought that my roots were strong That my branches were some type of armor that could protect you From anything that tried to harm you. But now I know you were my prisoner You never loved me for me But for my leaves you could see My colors pulled you in My melody, created from the wind that flowed though my brown hollow body But still I am nothing Why? Because you’re no longer with me I stay strong I stand tall Winter spring summer fall You said you were living for a worthy cause For me you said But my only wish was For you to become one with me And let us become one with the trees But I guess it wasn’t meant to be But now I’m dreaming a new dream You cut though my roots My melody was heard for the last time And I die With your smile on my mind...
