Everything that I was,
Is gone.

Blissfully Ignorant.
Ignorantly happy
              Blindly so.

My life was perfect and I saw nothing wrong.
              Blindly so.

Your version of reality, Your Perfect world.
              Lacking me,
                                    The reality, A MUST.
Must fix. Exchange me for
              Lacking.

Don't lie to me. You were never hurt.
No real tears. No real pain. Just a change.

Your transition was of the changing leaves.
Its color was all that changed.
                                                        ­ My color disgusted.
You needed something new.
Mine was bitter.
                                         My Tree, Old and weathered,
But roots, never deep enough.
Eroded, I fell.

               so you traded for a sapling.
               grass roots, Illusions of happiness.

One day, darling. One day you will see.
Slashing through the forest of hearts,
        Only leaves you with ashes of the.
