Nobody wants to go near me anymore.
People used to like me, they'd sit next to me on a park bench, they'd
smile when they saw me, they were completely comfortable bringing
their girlfriends and kids around me.
Not anymore. Not since that awful mürder. Now they cross the street
to avoįd me, and if they do look at me, it's only with a look of disgust.
I wish I could tell them all how sorrყ I was.
Sure, nobody blames me. It's not my fault. They know it wasn't my
fault. But now, they can't stand to even glance my way.
I'm so lonelч. God, what I wouldn't give to have someone sit down for
lunch with me. I took the little things like that for granted for so long.
I had to watch him dıe. They hanged him, and left before he was even
déád. I was the one that saw the LiFe leave his eyes, saw the paın and
desperation on his face, and I couldn't do a thing to help him. Those
terrified eyes haunt3d me for the rest of my life. I wanted nothin’
more than to reach out and save him, point the polıce to the
mürderer, and see those awful men put jāiled for the rest of their
lives.
But I couldn't. I'll never be able to. I can't cøntrøl where my branches
bend, and my leaves can only rustle and whisper in the wind.
