in my roots underground, bits of grief still remain
|
lingering memories, replacing joy by pain
|
in my roots underneath my silent cries grind and burn
|
shaping my own defeat to the point of no return
|
|
you are leaving me to cope with my scars
|
ignoring me for what? I don't know
|
former joy burnt down and decayed,
|
all that might have been turned to hate
|
dew washed away by the rain, acid bitterness eats me
|
it burns a hole in my crust,
|
seedlings of our trust won't grow no more
|
|
leafless you left me as leaves fell down to earth
|
|
naked I became when you left,
|
lonely is the woods of my trunc
|
where in the whirl of your thoughts was the reason anyway?
|
Seasons nature's cure for my shame,
|
in time my branches will grow again
|
spring, winter's foe has arrived,
|
blooming I once did... and will do again...
|
|
what did I do wrong to lose your trust?
|
the tree that's me was shook
|
you turned your back and left,
|
can't you see I was afraid of you
|
and of that higher tree that took the sun away
|
it all happened much too fast for me
|
and what you didn't know:
|
your tears were acid rain browning my green
|
