Tears on the Tree

It was so much easier when I was just an onlooker, just looking from afar, and with you in my dreams.


Her absence has brought me a weight I know that I cannot bare,
Take the burden of heartache away, and fly with me across the shimmering sea,
To land where our love can be.


Her sweet taste, her soft smile, all plays through my mind,
Especially under the quiet gray sky,
And as the words created an ocean between you and me.


I know you did not notice that the quiet sky. The sky was listening, eavesdropping to our words.

You stood under that tree, And I on the leaves.


The sky cried on me but not you because of your tree,
For it saw the end of what could have been,
What was us,
Now diminished to pure lust.


The author's comments:
This poem represents the hardship of what the end of relationships can be. To show how often, one person is left to bare all the pain while the other is left untouched.
