You were like a strong tree

The fact that you lied to me
Crushed my heart.
The rock you threw at me hit and turned me off.
Every flame that has burned in me to this day
She was gone.

You were like a strong tree
Protective and enveloping
And at that moment she felt vulnerable and weak
At the sight of the stormy winds.

I wish you would not lie to me
I wish you would come and tell,
I would certainly have withdrawn
But I would be happy for you.
I wish you were not lying …
