Broken Fences

A rose to you I now shall send

Gone are the days with my best friend

Empty pockets willing no longer to lend

Wasting time I now alone spend



If only time I could suspend

You back in my arms I’d pretend

With you I’d exhaust every weekend

Affectionate letters now I’d resend



To cherish you more I’d intend

Into the darkest of caverns I would descend

Captive wires I would unbend

On summits high I would ascend



Your every need I would contend

Lavish parties we would attend

On you all I would spend

For you are truly a godsend



Preoccupied I was with having a girlfriend

On you I relied and came to depend

On this truly you I commend

Released from the nest birds must fend



This voyage now I append

Left to my own qualms I must now tend

A tree in the wind must learn how to bend

Words spoken never meant to offend



An Oak leaf I now extend

All reservations I now suspend

You my love was the perfect blend

For actions taken now I emend



Insecurities seems to be the trend

Is this what you truly want to defend?

Can fondness time truly transcend?

Broken fences need to now mend
