broken nature

lainacarson98



i cant love you like i loved him

for he took the willow when he left

but i can love you some type of way, and hope its oak instead.

but the seed that was planted wasn't oak

it turned out to be pine

and so i grabbed an axe to cut you down

for i knew you weren't meant to be mine.

i chopped the pine tree down, for it wasn't oak.

and the smell of home hit me as the branches covered me like a cloak.

but it was to late to fix the damage that was done

for it was never oak, twas a pine tree, my heart had simply won.

so ill keep on planting seeds

till i get my oak

and hope the love will survive the storm, my pine tree hadn't took.

    Seeing how this pertains to both nature and humans is a bit cool.
    The message in its entirety has eluded me, though. The song goes well with the poem.
    Best regards.

    thank you both for commenting, it means so much. sometimes it takes me weeks to write something like this. other times it just pops into my head and I have to write it down
