Fly on the Wall

I am a fly on the wall
Surrounded by all that is
And all that was
And all that is spoken of
And felt

And I am passed by

And I am brushed off

And my own life
Is of no consequence

I am a leaf in the fall
Falling, falling
For you
Until I hit the ground
And you are gone

And I am stepped on

And I am blown away

And all of my beauty
Rots away in the ground

I am a stray cat
Seeking you out
Hoping you will give me
Something that is yours
And be yours

And I am kicked away

And I have nothing

And I move along
Seeking for nothing

And I am a spring bloom
Opening my heart to your sun
Year after year
And you look fondly on me
And I am yours

And then the colour fades

And the snow comes

And I am forgotten
Nothing but a memory

And I am a best friend
Listening to you
Talking with you
Giving you all that I have
No matter what I get in return

And I have nothing

And I take nothing

And I am nothing more
And I will lose you

And I am alone
Watching the sun fade
Into the horizon
Wishing there was someone
I could fade into

And I hold back my tears

And I lay down my head

And I will awake alone
With only thoughts of you
