Scattered Branches

*for my broken and scattered family... I hope you all find peace*

Broken limbs swept up
In their own personal tornado
Stripped of its life and proud dignity
Lying in a pile of broken dreams
On the tear soaked ground

Your roots are shriveling into nothing
Your nursery worthy perfection
Is grafted and crafted into
The perfect little lie

I am finally blossoming
In this red sand
Found something to live for
Your sticks and stones
Come flying at me
Telling me I'm wasting my life
But they're swept away
When I fall into his kiss

Your life here was bleak
So you ran
As far as your heart would take you
Your roots have been transplanted
And you bloom
But your past still eats at your core
Like a worm
Your demons still haunt you
And your pride still chains you
Keeps you from feeling a love
You've been searching for
That was here the whole time
