The Leaf and the Tree

Oh, my leaf, please don’t leave and fly
For if you do, I will wither and die
I must stand and you may fall, be blown
Because my love does not force, just let go

My roots are hidden in the ground
Command me to be still, could not even turn around
Feeling that a part of me had already gone
Made an empty space inside and can never be undone

Some sees me as strong and omni potent
Cryptic statue who surpasses many event
But when the sun sets and darkness comes
Tears start to shred in thousands of tons.

Days passed, pages of calendar had been folded
From our memories together, dreams are molded
Imagine the life without your existence
All of my victories and successes are useless

Do you feel the abundance I feel, my leaf?
Everything said and done, still I am full of grief.
Had failed to moved on, for only you hold the key
Come back and see beautiful roses, I sure make you see.

I would shake heaven and earth for you to return
Though impossible, I will do just make your heart not to burn
Branches are shy and weak without your presence
My world is plain, candid, and no essence

I had let you go so you can feel freedom
Liberty from all pressure and foolish boredom
For you were born willful and ambitious
I understood and had told you to be cautious

My leaf, please return then fill me in?
Without you, I am hopeless and dying
Fulfill your dream here beside me,
For I can no longer stand, you waning tree.
