Love is a Bare Branch

In the spring love always looks better then it is
You swing on it higher; higher
you feel alive, dangerous,
and at any moment you will fall off
and love will drop you with a horrible crash to the ground,
sometimes unexpected
always hirting worse that way
In the coldest day of January
when it still hasn't snowed and everything is gray
this is when you see loves true colors
the love that you once let control your fate is nowstaring at you lifeless
leaving you with a feeling of regret
from that one time when you broke your arm
it makes you feel hopeless
that you may never swing again
but you can get a cast
and soon you will heal
and spring will come
and suddenly you are a little less afraid, so you try again
but if your still afraid of getting hurt
this is the wrong branch for you to play on

  1. I like this piece, it definitely illustrates how love can work. You swing higher and higher, until there is nowhere left to go. You have to step off the ride of your life. Like you said, you can heal from love and try again, but really love is the wrong branch to play on. LOVED IT!
