The Tree

I looked at you
You looked at my leaves
So I let you take them
Hoping you would notice me
I looked at you
You looked at my branches
So I let you take them
Hoping you would notice me
I looked at you
You looked at my trunk
So I let you take it
Hoping you would notice me
While I watched you walk away
I looked at what's left of my leaves,
My branches
And my trunk
Just hoping you would notice me.
