Control only what you can

“Mine! All mine!”
Screams and roars
Lost in the air
The protector watched
As the protected
Mingled with the forbidden
Poison began to swell
Anger burnt within
“How dare you!
You were all mine!”
Anger became shock
Shock became acceptance
Defeat was inevitable
For not even the strongest trees
Could hold the wind
In its leaves
