I’m stumped

The tree I see,
Is always in my heart,
As it’s deteriorating,
From the bugs,
From the birds, why? I say,
The tree doesn’t deserve this,
I’m just like an adult looking after my child,
But I just can’t keep up,
Day after day I look at the catastrophic disaster,
Thinking about how much I love this tree,
When I think about it it feels like I’m going to melt,
And I know everything will change,
As I cry I do feel the pain that the tree is going through,
I just can’t handle it anymore,
Now I’m just lying there waiting for it to end,
This is a life ruined,
As I stare at the monstrosity,
The feelings that I feel are unexplainable,
As I cry trying to think of what to do,
But then I just know that there’s nothing that I can do.
