Branches

long lost love story
 to their eyes, ears, phones win all
 can’t they see beauty?
 
 dirty jokes revealed
 modern film adaptation
 i still can’t win them
 
 sometimes the weight wins
 bearing down on my heartstrings
 i question my choice
 
 they go home, forget
 (just another stupid class)
 for me, a heartache
 
 i search in branches
 for tomorrow’s brighter sky
 let the clouds break free
