Broken Heart

A hollow tree lingers in the forest
(Silent)
Nobody hears it fall
Empty carcass
No one can tell
That there was once life

Life escaped it
The bare branches shake
Everything diminished
A scarred shrub

For whosoever gave it life
Has taken the leaves
And left but a stump
On the the hollowed tree's scars

Creatures crawl throughout
Leaving hands on bump and knot
Deteriorating
What was left
Of the carcass

Now
The remnant
Is broken art
Since H-E left
