so darling, sit under this tree
that protected you from the pelting stones
grey skies looming overhead
they can't scare you

you have emerald knights
wish for them to stop you
in the name of needing some thrill
you know the rope wasn't a swing

i see you dug a hole
a void to throw all these memories away
in the shadows of this tree
secrets shall be kept

and as dark clouds loomed by,
branches desperately flailed
keeping out the acids in vain
the waters wrapped itself around you

so darling,
why were you smiling?
you weren't the memory meant to be thrown away.
