The trees and me
The trees outside my window
have shed themselves of your gaze
new life blooms
untainted and free beauty
but my chestnut hair
is still stained by your touch
why can’t I rejuvenate
like the trees
Paint it black
The birds sang for us
to build something incredible
flowers bloomed
in our footsteps
fertilised with the promise
of forever
but we lost sight
of nature’s plan
and destroyed each other instead
