I fell, but you fell too
I picked you up
loved you
nurtured you
as I fell into you
you grew into something so beautiful
I couldn't look away
the tree grows big while the roots
bury deep
you stare at me while I start to weep
you told me I pressured your growth
but all I wanted for you was happiness and wealth
so you could live without worry
but what can I do when you had others too
the roots start to die as the tree uproots
now leaves a hole with roots and a soul
lost in time with no where but away to go
