Callous love

by Tiny Reader   Aug 18, 2006


When I see the destruction she causes
Of something so simple and pure,
I rush to the side of the tree tops,
Where love is left to explore.

Alone on the branches you wither
Afraid of the sight of the fall
Clinging onto the twigs of the memories
Of when her love held you up tall.

And now the winds just beat stronger
Throwing you off the side,
And her vicious lies seep slowly
Damaging your male pride.

She doesn't see me coming
Unaware of the love I hold
Secretely I'll reach out to you
And the tree will still uphold.

    Another good write. I liked the metaphor of clinging onto branches in the trees to express love. The only thing I can suggest, is on the second line of the first stanza "simple and pure" is a little cliche, so maybe better wording would be good here. Thanks for sharing.
