JM + AF heart

I carved our names into a tree

thinking that our love could be

just like a tree, in the sense

of strength, beauty, and longevity

But much like love, trees are fragile

disease takes hold and leaves it dead

swarms of insects eat off all the pretty parts

lightning strikes, starting fires and leaving scars

or people will just cut you down. 

I still believe that love and trees

share a lot of similarities

but now in a different way

In the worst way.
