The Sentimental Tree

Like everything
It started from nothing
But grew naturally
Until it was strong and tall
Full of life
Full of long branches
With green leaves
That swayed beautifully
In the wind

But the cold came
The leaves turned yellow and brown
And slowly fell to the ground
Like the last drops of blood
Feeding a dying heart

And I knew
The way a doctor knows a patient
Is going to die
That there was absolutely nothing
I could do
To make you love me
