the branch lies broken
being in itself a token
of what its been through
do you have a clue?

i walk over and crush it
and so do you
unable to fathom
how close it is to you

a car drives over it
and it winces in pain
so does another
and its hurt again

i gaze at the branch
and i hope you will too
only to realize that
in a way its you

sometimes something may seem so insignificant to someone but it might mean so much to someone else. in fact, more often than not, it means the most to the person who does the most harm to it because he doesn't want to acknowledge this weakness of his, so he pretends it means nothing and acts as if it doesn't pain him to walk all over it
