I am alone
yet not alone
The seasons changed again
the green leaves mourn their green color fading
into shades of orange, yellow, red
and some ugly shades of brown
To later fall to the ground into the rubbish
To feed the snails – you say
I am alone
yet not alone
The seasons changed again
Tears fall down my face
not to be seen by those who should care but do not
The crunching of the leaves under my feet
a respite to my own suffering
as I witness them die
shades of orange, yellow and red
and some ugly shades of brown
They lay down their lives
on the fall ground
dead again
I am alone
yet not alone
my beard becoming soaked
one teardrop at a time
Noone warned me
that
you
would
hate
me
so
badly
Why?
