My forest


When the words fall out of your mouth 

And they splatter on the ground

And you wish to take them back

But they've already taken root

The seeds turn into trees 

Within a matter of seconds 

And they're big and thick,

unforgettable

And it soon turns into a forest 

Cuz most people don't know when to stop 

You spread the disease 

Through pollen and wind

Through sentences and fragments

Through love and hate

I can only take so much

So i send a crew to cut them down

I don't care which they choose

Some is better than none 

And i'll try to forgive 

As i sit on your stumps 

And cry silently 

Cuz what's a friend for 

If trust gets broken this easily
