white leaves, dead
under the apple tree.
her papers are burned, crisp at the edges.
mine torn. Imperfect little squares.

Think skin, dry bones.
It’s lonely under the apple tree
where we cry for hours.

Stretch out in dead secrets-
little documents ruined
for the sake of privacy.

-----------------------------------

hullo all. I'm back for another short visit. I dunno, I kinda like to drop in once a month or so. Don't really have the dedication to writing it takes to stay.
I changed my picture, seeing as I'm 17 and that was me when I was 13 u_u it doesn't show much of my face, but then again, I prefer it that way.

Heart-breaking.

It's great to see you posting again Wind. I knew I was in for a special read when I saw your name, and I was correct.  
Extremely powerful writing Liz.

You have been missed.  I think this is a
superbly crafted poem.  Your choices of
words is masterful.
