as a child she got lost in the woods
she received a more assuring hug from the wind than anyone who had ever said they loved her
the flowers spoke words with more softness and care than any human around her ever had
and before she found her way out of this woods she spotted a hollow tree where she placed her heart

after many years the girl went back into the woods
the wind was dry and smelled of burning wood
the flowers were wilted
dead
and that tree had rotted leaving nothing but roots and the veins from her heart

the girl now resembles the tree the first time she saw it
you do not know if that is curse or a blessing
a human so incapable of loving that she breaks everything in her path that dares to attempt to fill the hollow place in her chest with words and beauty she hasn't seen since the day that she gave her heart to that tree or a human so incapable of loving she lives without the fear of a broken heart
only an empty void
