Poem: You Were Only A Branch
I am a writer. My passion is poetry. I feel words connect people together and help us to understand the feelings we share.
Poem Summary
In life there are different kinds of people, a leaf, a branch and a root. In this poem, " You Were Only A Branch", the person made promises, making another believe he was dependable, wanting to be there - then shatters the person's heart - making him a branch for being unreliable, not trustworthy
"Home" by Branch to Root
You Were Only A Branch
I thought we were rooted like a tree,
no storm could ever tear us apart,
but now I know
you were only a branch
waiting for the wind to come
to set you free.
I felt my heart shatter
into a million tiny pieces
watching them blow away
with the force of the wind,
lost forever in the storm.
A piercing heartache
I have not felt before,
a life I didn't choose
but I am forced to live,
an existence I can only maintain
pretending I'm happy alone.
