The lush green leaves
Fall
One
By
One
Burned by the heat of the Sun
Scorched by her tirades
The dewy green turned steam
Replaced by shriveled brown
Devoid of life
Under her heated gaze
The beauty she craved
Nay, nurtured
Destroyed by the fire of who she is
The trunk lies bare
Sticks into earthen crust
Reminders
Of what once was
What was pure
What was perfection
What will never be
