The happiness is no longer
Maybe it's just the anger
Most of the time I can't control my emotions
I feel like my head is headed for an explosion
Long ago...

The Apple TreeIn a small field by a tower,
Grew a sapling next to flowers.
Its own petals bloomed this day,
A promise of fruits without delay.
A cherry tree young and sweet,
All the other trees it'd greet,
And together sway in...

did stain the spirits evermore....
