On a cold empty Tree

[Meen]

When all the birds flew
across the oceans
to far away places
and escaped the harsh winter

You stayed back,
To keep me warm
through this cold winter
on these empty branches

I do love all the romance,
but it is your commitment
that I admire, and hits me
with your love

A love that says
you can count on me
and will love me even
when am not that lovable

Everything in this world
falls apart eventually,
this tree, our home we are sitting on
will fall apart one day

I am going to fall apart,
likely before this tree
and you will fall apart too
but until then, I promise

I will keep you warm.

Everything in this world
falls apart eventually,

will fall apart one day

I am going to fall apart,
likely before this tree
and you will fall apart too
but until then, I promise

I will keep you warm.
