Green Sorrow
Shaded green
faded
The mansion leaves are falling
dropping
covering
In ever greener carpets
doubling the ground cover
Grown
mown
The grass has cover statues
that used to be Greek and nude
I am
blue
Since the gardener has quit
my mind has overgrown
With leaves and grass
residue that reminds me of you
But you not here now
to uncover the grounds
of the paradise we built
And you're not aware now
that's it's raining on the roof
You're so aloof to
my green sorrow
Shaded green
faded
Our love has gone
Stopping
wiping away
the tears that water my cheeks
The sprinklers haven't worked for weeks
Months
Years
since we've been apart
and I've a new start
Without
you
Since you've left me
I've recovered
The lawn is cut
to cover shreds and pieces
of my heart
The house is falling
my green sorrow
but I'll build a new one
tomorrow
