The fall

The axe is laid at the tree

Fruitless in present and memory
All with hope that it would bear
From mended roots a tree that cares
Yet now I feel with thorn in side
A splintered heart to wood confide
All for vain that I would be
The cause, the maker of calamity
Thus split now from my presence
From my thoughts my very essence 
And I shall look on to fields so dull
And you shall then grow independently full
But when I look back upon the prize I lost
Do not think I regret the cost
Of giving up a treasure dear 
Of surrendering to a battle queer
For what I lost, that I may gain
From a different girl with a different name.
