Watching

Everyday I see them die, everyday we say goodbye
I’m just a bush with berries
While they bleed sap as red as cherries
the worst thing that’s happened to me
eventually let me free
I thought they were strong
but I was so very wrong
It’s like they put on a show
so we don’t see their health is so low
every day I see them die, every day we say goodbye
