i've never felt so alone in life
never walked such an empty path
the trees that lined the path are now dead and bare
the bushes dried up and void of flowers
the grass brown and fading to nothing
i have lost everything
to rebuild could take months, years
and i would have to water it with my tears
i don't know how long i can do that for
how long i can smile and pretend i'm okay
close my eyes and ignore my dead trees
i have no one
no chirping birds to make my mind wander
no wind to make me question where it comes from
no trees to climb and see the world from a new perspective
because it's all dead
and now i walk my empty path
and wonder when i join the trees in becoming dead
in becoming nothing
in fading away until i no longer exist
