bare branches

Becca Carroll

what happened

your love for me

was supposed to be

strong and unwavering

you were the last leaf

on the tree before winter

and the breeze blew you away

autumn isn’t over yet

it wasn’t supposed to be

don’t you hate how

seasons change so soon

where did you go

maybe it wasn’t the breeze

maybe you were the earth

after the seasons of

growing

blooming

falling

maybe you were tired

maybe you got scared

when the sky started

pouring snow without warning

until all life became trapped

maybe you left by choice

to find some place warmer

is that what happened?
