It doesn't matter anymore,
Your sun no longer shines...
That was what you said to me.
I was miles away.
Hanging up the telephone,
I didn't know how to react.
I jumped out of bed, it was 5am.
I'd had a weird feeling the night before...
You were so angry!
And I didn't know why.
I don't think it was my fault.
A tornado is coming.
I know times had been bad for you recently.
You had family to deal with,
Uni, people...(are weeds!)
Everything was getting too much to take.
[The grass was growing too fast...]
And in the end, so was I.
Yes, we spoke,
We had words.
We spoke in a way we'd never spoken before.
And I hurt you.
Oh, I'm not stupid enough
to think I mean enough to you
to have been the cause....
Your roots are deeper than that.
I'm stupid enough to show I care though.
Because now, you'll know how much it'll hurt me.
Whether or not you see it,
You'll know deep down.
It was easy for you.
You had planned it all already.
I was miles away,
What could I do?
Your face used to be turned to the sun,
Drinking in the light,
Drawing on its energy.
You no longer sleep-
There is no energy left.
You were wilting,
Slowly but surely, fading away.
Maybe you wanted to get there first?
I couldn't help you.
Raining my tears of pain will never revive you,
A nice sharp pair of scissors,
To your stalk,
Your main artery.
You died, broken.
I live. Alone.
