For Boyfriend. [a slightly jealous reaction to the song Friends Make Trees] <3

My now-ex is a musician, and he wrote both me and his best friend Casey [a female] a song. Hers had more meaning, depth, and was all-around.. well, better. I wrote this as my initial reaction to the song.

Never a tree, always the brambles.
Choking, growing, I’m always the brambles.
Not quite proud, but that’s my part.
Important, yes, but without heart.
Flowers an’ fruit of innocence- but
I produce fruit with sweeter scent.
Victims not chosen, just fateful.
As ever I grow, so faithful.
Life they lose, life gain I.
Whilst I thrive, they die.
Twists protect my fruit inside;
Thorns both unhidden and hide.
Brave, an arm will venture deeper
looking for the fruit that’s sweeter.
Greed will trample down my vines
as they take the fruit that’s mine.
Thorns fall off from rough fingers
although long gone, pain lingers.
Benefit for them, indeed;
A loss of mine to greed.
Never a tree, always the brambles.
Cannot someone love the brambles?
