Leaf A small leaf
falls on the ground
banished from the tree
that helped her to grow
she is weak, alone, scared
and doesn't have a friend
a face to glance upon
as she hits the ground
she is helpless
the dreams she had this summer
crash hard against new white cement
sensations she never felt before
run through her
she never saw this coming
never thought it would hurt this much
to have the life drained out of you
vein by vein
the green is gone
replaced by a shade
of empty brown lonliness
she is powerless to stop it
her breath is coming slower now
with all her strength
she looks up
the tree still stands there
just as it was
no remorse over losing it's last leaf
It'll grow more
She takes her last breath and dies.
