Poison Tree

Poison Tree

So within the poison tree
I see the rotten part of me

No fruit to bare no soul to see
Just another mystery not solved

I lie awake at night
Afraid of what awaits me

The sinner and the sin now meet
no leaves to fall just a cold wind

As my soul descends into darkness
Gaze at what frightens the masses
But it doesn’t frighten my mind

So with roots with no soil I toil

My body is racing with a tired mind
But my body is withering on the vine

Who knows when it’s your time
To meet your maker

Hope I did enough to pass the test
We will all see when the marks are posted
