Broken Spring Poem by Shade Rodieson

the birds chirping around me
the flowers in full bloom
i take none of that into accounting
my heart is broken this spring
i want to know why you left me
why did you have to die
i think these solom and angry thoughts
as i walk down the flowered path
everything still lives on but you
the budding flowers: the bright green trees
why do i have to go on i ask myself
i think about death
but your voice on the wind
saves me from myself
