The Garden

Nothing grows inside of me
No sunlight shines upon these withered leaves
No colored flowers break the breeze

In the garden
The garden that I keep

Roots of hope have slowly died
With no foundation to help me
Stem the tide
Washed away the rains subside
Exposing and stranding the love
I used to hide

At last the crows come here to feed
They eat the newborn shoots and leave
behind the weeds
Without a soul they’re left to breed

In the garden
The garden that I keep
