like big old redwoods
I was so close to the sky
I was, I could feel it in my hair
but down below there was a knocking
knocking knocking
then a chop chopping
peeking below I saw you
I thought you were a friend
but I remembered you
when you carved your sweetheart's name
now you came back
with a larger tool this time
trying to get my heart
I was oh so thick
all-knowing, that was me
I knew no way you'd get to me
'cause I was the tallest tree
I kept looking back down to you
every once and awhile
the closer you kept getting
the angrier I got
that one last look i took
bent over way too far and you took
one
last
chop
chop, crack, fell
down to my knees crying
he told me I was a flower
underneath my thick bark
so I'm still here trying to thicken up again
I've fallen to my enemy's knees
he has finally conquered over me.
never the end
