Ever Since

   
"Ever Since"

Under the tree,
There is only absence.
Only dust and cobwebs,
Ever since.

Ever since,
I truly and honestly believed.
Believed so much,
That this soul can not be retrieved.

Only dust and cobwebs,
In that once magical place.
Though I doubt you could see it,
Were you to look on my face.

An exhausting fight,
Battling the memories.
A war to the end,
Inside of me.

Under the tree,
There is only absence.
An absence in me,
Ever since.
