Tree Split

My God, I am so sore

You've grabbed my branches and torn

My body across the forest floor

I think I've been here before

My trunk was axed when I was seventeen

I had no body

And now you've re-split me

It's what you do, you said I have poisoned roots

You know, I think so too

So can you leave a piece of me for me

Please?

'Cause then my roots will crawl back up and grow
