Red Leaf

Sweet so intense your honeycomb words
Skin soft, tender, clean
Your untouched flower blooming
In the void of my eye

Oh how they’ve failed you
Oh how so they let you down

And I could listen to your sweet words
Time never ending words sticking
Tree sap embedding itself into
The sleeping bear in my conscious

Oh how they failed you
Let me come save you
My love is real
Your maple smile

And scars that grow wider
My heart cannot bear
And my fingers stick together
As I watch your youth tattered by
The brutish creator your name

Oh how they failed you
Let me come save you
Oh how they’ve hurt you
Oh how they’ve let your potential down
My love is real
Your maple smile
