Fallen Branches

A cool breeze blows upon my neck Laughter fills the air Bright stars above me Embedded roots below me No one here beside me Reaching out for no one Talking to myself Laughing at my humor Holding onto air Inhaling emptiness Exhaling loneliness Cloudless skies above me Whispering leaves below me No shadow beside me No shoulder to cry on No one to catch my tears Listening to the silence Inhaling stupidity Exhaling regret A million trees above me Fallen branches below me No one here beside me.
