The Leaf

Here I am once again
A fallen angel from heaven
I've always been too stiff
That's why I always fall, like a leaf.

My touch has always been soft
My pride was never been aloft
My life from the start was poignant
I didn't  want to be this stagnant.

Days passed by like pages of a book
While I stay here, alone in my nook
I once lived outside there, free
Happy with my family, my tree.

They used to hold me so tight
Never let me out of their sight
But in a blink of an eye, I was gone
And boom! By the rain, my life's done.
