I sit by this tree that can see
It watches me
It knows about the times where I have broken down and cried
It has watched me fall through the cracks of this world
It has been been torn apart and ignored
It knows of my family struggles
Though it can not hear it knows so much of my life
It has seen the scars on my body
It has seen the internal struggle with myself
It has observed me through all my years
I have always sat by this that could see
I've seen the sympathy in those eyes
Though it can't talk it comforts me
It consoles me with the soft look in its eyes
Yes this tree can not do many things but it seems me
I wish I knew it like it knew me
But had noticed much about this tree
All I know is that it sees me
It understands my pain
I wish this tree could talk
I wish it could tell me its okay
I wish this tree could hear so it could listen to me complain
But all this time that I sat by the tree
I never thought about the pain this tree must feel
To always comfort others
To remain strong for those in need
To be my back support when I lean
Come the fall it loses those beautiful leaves
And when I'm gone those eyes weep
The tree is all alone
No one ever thought about the tree
We passed it day by day and never gave it another thought
The tree finally dies
And finally we realized how much we loved that tree
No one helped that poor tree that could see
The tree with eyes carried a burden everyone with eyes could never see
