Branches - Josh Woodward
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
And 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
But we still share a single heart
If you peel away the bark
