I'm Just A Tree


I'm just a tree.
I bare the thorns
to share my pain,
kind of like her
scars I've seen.

She used me...
Leaned against me,
Used my thorns
for her relief.
Now she tells me, the tree,
that she has nothing
left to be.

I see her now,
one thing connecting
her and me, the tree,
a rope at plea.
so much pain,
must have dropped her
at insane.
She needed a friend,
everyone thought she was lame.

I wish I wasn't a tree.
I want to be like you,
able to set her free.
But I'm just a tree.
