Love for me

They are familiar,
Your
Broken roots
Jigsaw branches
Fevered shade
Knowing all too well the risk,
Of seeking shelter in you
But when you are the closest
thing I call home
It is easy to mistake your
bark for a tender touch,
And your dying leaves for pillows
With all of the impermanence of
A hollow tree,
I hope you find some love for me.
