Don’t go.
I blurted out through my cries,
gripping her hand tighter.
Think of trees,
she whispered, wiping the tears from my cheek
like leaves catching raindrops,
They’ll help you sleep.
So I began to dream
with the help of the trees
and the breeze that brushed
ever so lightly through the leaves.
As she let go of my hand
and disappeared from my room,
I was no longer afraid
of the loneliness that loomed,
for the trees will always surround me.
