The last leaf
On the old tree
It’s been a year
Since she has died

She left me here alone
I miss the way she smiled
The way she laughed
When I told a joke
We always held hands
And kissed in public
I was all she wanted
She was all I needed
To make it in this world

I knew her for years
She was my best friend
As I was hers
We talked everyday
We loved each other

Now she is gone
I miss her so much
I am lost without her
I want her back

She was beautiful
Hair that flowed
Eyes that sparkled
Her lips were soft
I told her all the time
How amazing she looked

I don’t think
I can live another year
Without my girl
She was my world

So the last leaf is ready to fall
This means the end of the year
It’s time to start over
A chance to start off fresh
But for me
It’s just another year
Without her by my side

You can tell
By the scars on her wrist
The way she does her makeup
It’s all for you
Just for you

You ignore her everyday
You try to play cool
To impress your friends
But now you realize
You like her too

It’s too late
The damage is done
It’s been a week now
And she is nowhere to be found

You see what you’ve done?
Her life is ended
Since you tried to play tough
Do you feel tough now?

Do you know how she felt
For a year or two
She loved you for you
You are a fool

Everyday when she woke up
She hoped you changed
She threw on a dress
And hoped you noticed

She would write in her journal
About everyday
All of it’s true
And all of it hurts
It’s mostly cause of you

It was a struggle
She stayed up all night
Picking out clothes
To catch your eye

But one day she couldn’t
She couldn’t take it anymore
She didn’t want to pretend
Pretend you changed anymore
So she stayed home drunk
Drunk with sadness
She grabbed her fathers gun
The gun that put the pain away

I hope you now know
What you’ve done
Who she was
Who she loves
