Family Tree

Words become unspoken

Memories are left to be broken

Distance separate’s you from me

And time gets in the way of everything

My emotions wilt like a willow

1 and 2 don’t add up

discrepancy, I’ve had enough

I dust off my shoulders, rolling off are big boulders

Forgiveness seeps down into my core

There use to be four but now there’s three

Tell me what happened to our family tree

Arguments turn into sudden pleas

as the hands around me tighten and squeeze
