I want to tell you how I feel
I want to scream it in your face
But instead these memories I must erase
I can no longer talk to you
I can no longer look at you
I can no longer touch you
You were once a green leaf on my tree
But now you are falling from me
You are now the crumpled brown leaf that sits under me
So close, yet so far away
I long to see you
It feels like forever goes by in a day
But if you wanted it to be different, wouldn’t you make it so?
It is time for you to get buried
My tree needs to grow
You will not be forgotten
Even though you may be old and rotten
You are mixed into my soil
You are apart of my roots
And I will count that as a blessing
Even when I am in the ground
Even when I am resting
This life goes by every hour
Maybe in the next one I’ll be a flower
Maybe then you will pick me instead
But for now you are dead
