Sometimes, love is like a tree.

Some trees last for centuries,

yet some will get infested in the process.

And when we want to uproot this tree,

the roots will be damaged – so the tree will die forever

the plants at the side will also be damaged

and for a while

the land will be barren

but at least

at the very least

the land will be fertilised

and after a while

greenery will blossom again

the kids will roam

the flowers will bloom

and all these

stem from the uprooting of the

tree

heartbreak
