tire swing

you remind me of trees

i love you so much it hurts

and i won't let anyone chop you down

and i want to swing on your long welcoming branches

in a tire swing in four in the afternoon

but does that mean that i cannot hang myself 

in your arms that same night?

don't you see that i love you so, so much

please kill me

twisty...wasn't expecting it to go that way...thought provoking.

[Coyote Poetry]

A sad ending to the poem. I like the use of nature and hope for love. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
