Coming to terms with being alone


                                        My World

                                Under the leaves, I lie
                                damp from mornings dew,
                                dripping from ageless trees.
                                My skin crawls
                                with the life of the forest.
                                I am still, lifeless.
                                Desperately trying to be
                                apart of this world.
                                Memories of abandonment
                                leave me with each bite,
                                each painful bite, that releases
                                my former world and joins me
                                to my life under the leaves.
