Jay Yeats Poet Free verse

Goodbye Letter

Oh, love, I'm so sorry
I've lost you, 
                        I've lost you
To a city of woven roots
Dead leaves, towers of trees
The crunch of the forest floor
Beetle shells, 
                         babies teeth
Where did your footsteps go?
You were following the stepping stones
You were following the fire flies
You were humming a gentle melody
A memory 
                   of a memory
                                            of a dream
What did you   see?
What did you feel when you left
       When you decided to leave me
I give up,
     I give you up
