Tumble Weeds

Such stories tumble weeds tell,

insinuating that they'll always be around

that they've found some common ground

and how it was only you who could stop the wind.

But, thats never really the case.

Truth is they're just stuck on the barbed wire

inching towards freedom in the breeze.

Just when you get use to their smell

and that sound they make as they tap the ground,

the north wind picks up calling them away

leaving you with nothing but broken twigs

and brief moments of sweet entanglements
