Girl, instead of putting on a masquerade
Why don't we speak to one another
Communication is vital and necessary
It will heal our hearts and bring us together
Girl, our love is tender and true
This is about us two
The tense moments will disappear
And we will guide our way through

I’m the person I know best, but there’s still so much I don’t know. How strange to be a stranger even to yourself.
.
Through a forest glade
and down a narrow path
there stands a sacred tree
with its heart torn in half.

Bramble clings to its trunk
ivy covers over its bark,
reaching up for the light
fighting against the dark.

Forgotten by the woods,
ignored in a crowded place,
for it yearns for attention,
just a little tender grace.

I've got no pre-planned preparations
Hidden in my purse

That silly thing
I called a dream
Swayed to the point
Of extinction

And collections I once had -
Of where to be and why
To be there

Were nothing but clouds
Like every other thought
Now dust in the wind
Of all things ever sought.

— The End —
