Why Apples Fall Off of Trees
Close your eyes and feel her
She runs past you with fear and regret
Knowing that there's no way out
She's in a cage
Trapped and afraid
How long will you keep her there?
She may not stay visible at all times
But she's there suffering your mistakes
You may not notice how long she's kept quiet
Or how long he's been waiting to run away
He sighs and trembles at the volume of the room
The door pierces his sight
He has a chance, to make a run for it
But like when you're reading a book
It won't be done without an ending
He tries to fight and fails
He's already been shot down by various blows
And this is the biggest
One beats him to the door and leaves
No one knows where they go
But now everyone has time to think
To apologize, to plead
To deny
To deceive
