They say, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
But this apple has rolled far.
So far, that it can’t roll back into the shade of its tree.
Would an apple tree grow under the shade of the other trees?
They say, that there’s always a someone,
We want to hold on to.
It is you, it isn’t me,
Why does it not hold for both you and me?
They say, the truth sets you free.
The truth I heard, has made me
As knotted up as can be.
Will I be set free?
They say, time heals all wounds,
Yet, there are wounds that never do so
They ache in the most inopportune moments.
Would time heal it before we pass?
They say, they said so, from their consistent experience,
Yet, none of mine is consistent with theirs.
A square peg in this round world
Would the edges smooth out?
