Revisit

Barren land
Covered with
Memories, tears and sorrow
Just when it overflows
A tree grows

Bit by bit
There it blooms
And you come staring at it
Never spoken a word

Even when it rains
You’d stand under the sky
Wouldn’t rely its shades
You’re scared of walking near
Scared that it gets harder

Deep down in your heart you know you don’t have to come
You don’t have to stay as it hurts, you could just run
You don’t have to carry the weights of the tree trunk
Doesn’t have to be that

Why don't you just move on
I wonder
What makes you linger
And suffer
I wonder

And the tree gets tall
It’s masking more and more
You stand there like before
Now I see through the shade
And the smile on your face

Deep down in your heart you know you don’t have to come
You don’t have to stay as it hurts, you could opt to run
Slowly I realise why you choose not to shun
It has to be this way

I kept misconceiving
What it takes
The field is nurtured by
Memories, tears and joy
That’s why you’re here
