My Last Gift to You
I walk alone, down a hidden trail
So over grown its hard to see
Through this thick green veil
All I see, is little me
~Running down this path
Being chased by him
Trying to avoid his wrath
Just running on a whim
Than I stop in its shadow
Both me and my other
And bask in its eerie glow
When we are joined by another
“Let’s go up” he whispers to the younger me
I don’t think its safe I say
“Aww come on it’s just a tree…”
We argue a minute before I give way
So up the tree he goes
Making it to the second level, he beckons me up
I’m half way up when its exposed
His playful little boy-hood pup.
But I keep climbing up the tree
While he smiles down at me
There is no mistaking his look of glee
As he watches me climb the tree~
And it was here, that years ago I climbed
My heart is growing dark
For this visit so ill timed
I look down at my feet
I gaze at where I stand
Standing on what’s left of an old blue sheet
Crying, tell me! I command
Why did you have to do this to me?
Clenched tight in my hand, a little silver blade
Look down at me can’t you see
This monster you have made
I drag the blade across my wrists
Splashing green with red blood
Standing in the tree he hakes his fists
But that won’t stop the flood
Tears stream down my cheeks
I am living in my horrible dreams
That have been haunting me for weeks
And it’s the way the blood gleams
As I smear it from wrist to tree
Sending this demon away
Never to come back
Never to see your face
Never to follow this hidden track
No more dreams to make my pulse race
I take this tiny blade
Down, down, down, I slice
So deep it begins to fade
So deep it feels like ice
Running through my finger tips
I press the blade into the trunk
A kiss from my lips
To the blood stained trunk
Is my final good-bye
To this broken tree house
I start to cry
And the base of the tree is doused
In years and years
And a blade buried deep
To release those fears
So take this blade left in the tree
For it’s the last thing I’ll ever give you
This one last gift from me.
