"I'm a fallen leaf from a tree"
In the bleak autumn of my existence,
A leaf torn from the branch, I drift,
A fragile, fading thing, forsaken,
Lost to the winds that whisper despair.
Once green, now shriveled, worn and gray,
My beauty lost, my vitality slain,
I cling to memories of life's warm breeze,
Now taunting me with summer's distant refrain.
The tree that sheltered me, now stands,
A skeletal sentinel, unmoved,
Its branches grasping, like bony hands,
Toward the sky, where hope is lost.
In my descent, I find my voice,
A mournful whisper, a dying choice,
To let go, to fall, to fade to black,
A fleeting thought, lost in the crack.
My essence merges with the earth,
A morbid union, a fatal birth,
I nourish roots, but not my own,
A fallen leaf, forever overthrown.
In this dark soil, I find my home,
A grave, a womb, where I am thrown,
A place to wither, crumble, and decay,
A fallen leaf, lost, forever astray.
