Palm Tree

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

As I was telling you 

that our marriage was over 

I looked outside the window 

and watched this palm tree next door. 

 

The winds were whipping 

and it appeared as if 

one palm frond was attacking the other. 

 

The leaves looked like fingers 

stabbing away. 

 

And I looked back at you 

and saw that I realized 

I was doing the same to you.
