An apple tree so bare. My apples have been stripped from me. I have nothing left. No one bothers to sit beneath me anymore. They only wish to clean my branches of the tasty treat I have created. Day after day I wait for someone to care. For someone to be grateful, instead if greedy. They never actually see me. They never sit to admire the way I have grown. They use me, and wait until my treat is ripe again. Just a thank you. That's all I've ever wished to hear.

Lonely Apple Tree
