Tree Root Tumor
This is how bleeding leads to beauty…
A tree root tumor around my heart
That’s what you were
So intertwined with me heart
That it seemed to be the reason it beat
Yet you continue to march to the beat of your own drum
You planted your roots in my heart
And used them to grow and anchor
Taking all the vital nutrient from my heart
But l began to wither as you continued to flourish
You chopped down your tree and propagated elsewhere
But you left me bleeding…
with your dead roots interwoven with the fabric of my soul
What happens when someone owns your heart,
But they don’t care?
