Curse cosmic balance and fuck fate
Though I left them behind, they've found a way
A way to screw those I love out of
Out of everything that ever mattered
You were always my balance
I looked to you to seek solice
But then you left me broken
My foundations still smoking
So I planted the seeds we'd sewn
Sole severence from what we owned
Left out in the cold until it bloomed
In a battle of those forever doomed
I bit my blue lips and cursed your name
Swearing to never give myself to the flame
The painful wait payed off
The broken bricks now soft
The seedling showed its sprout
I watch in wonder and doubt
Years go by and we grow apart
A tree now stands with wide widthed heart
The tip top is where I now live
Sheltered within the shade it gives
I raise my arms and feel like I can fly
Swearing to never give the feeling up 'till I die
A sudden car crash later
Destruction doesn't matter
Sap bleeds slow, wood splintered apart
Behind the bark lies an exposed heart
You shook the tree but it stayed stable
I looked down from the upturned table
I reach out to bring you up with me
But blood and tears are all you see
I'd give you my stability if only I could
All I have are words that flow like love should
I'm pained to see you so
All alone and cold below
At least my tree blocks the rain
But I can't shield your pain
And though the wind blows hard and cold
A sapling lies nearby small but bold
Someday you can climb to it's top
The aches in your heart fade then stop
We may not be close by but we'll be bound
In the roots, low laid branches, and the sound
Of echoed laughter
Forever after
