falling trees

so like the tree
i fall and the space
has been filled
do i crush you
do i do i do i

and the water pulls me away
the sun dries my tears
the limbs cannot break my fall
the leaves are gone
the other trees laugh
at me
knowing i have fallen for you
knowing i love you
knowing i miss you
the stones hurt
they hold back a force
so great so small
they know about loss
they know the hardness of love

i have fallen
and cannot move
i am swept away
i break apart
i lose myself in the moment
i do i do i do
