The Leaf

the leaf

crumpled under your feet

whispers

a story of long ago

of lovers

with a promise

to live

’till death do us apart’

entwined

their souls breathed

as one

their hands held

together

dusts of time

gathered

web of lies

woven

dew of tears

shed

the leaf lay

witness

to bloody stabs

of words

unraveled memories

love

torn to shreds

you walked away

guilty

crumpling the leaf

and

me..
