A Tree Among Tree's

I'm like a tree in a forest of tree's

My exterior is hard due to my environment

And if you hurt me I'll cry sweet tears

On the inside I'm smooth and I'm soft

But so is every other tree in the forest

I'm not special, nor do I deserve special treatment

But I do want to be cared for

I want to be shown kindness of the heart

But, for me that's like a romance book

I can only read the words

And touch the pages full of feelings

I can only feel those feelings

But only for a short time

And maybe I get drunk off it

'Cause I crave it

Just tell me that you can

Make me a promise that even if it's only for a short moment

That you will treat me with such care
