Branches

Cold breeze, dead leaves

Falling from exhausted trees

With no one else but you and me to see

We walked, while you talked

Everything you've ever said

Reflecting in my hollow head at once

From seed, sunk

We grew up like a tree trunk

But your branch and mine

They split and climbed apart

But we still share a single heart

If you peel away the bark

The dim haze, of old days

In sepia, the times return

The love we shared, the lessons learned and lost

But slowly

We drifted in our own ways

I couldn't say the moment when

I looked and saw your branch had bent apart

From seed, sunk

We grew up like a tree trunk

But your branch and mine

They split and climbed apart

But we still share a single heart

If you peel away the bark

Our roots

Are tangled up in tight loops

Though the winds may go

And try to blow us down

We stand together here as one

The darkest nights, the brightest Sun

No matter what the two of us become

From seed, sunk

We grew up like a tree trunk

But your branch and mine

They split and climbed apart

But we still share a single heart

If you peel away the bark

From seed, sunk

We grew up like a tree trunk

But your branch and mine

They split and climbed apart

But we still share a single heart

If you peel away the bark
