The Tree from Which I Fell
By Daniel Prior

I didn’t want to know the truth of it. I just wanted those moments that we cherish; I wanted to make them last.
I wanted her to say that she was coming back home to me. I had to hear her say that it was all fine. That she just needed some time. I wanted to stay in the tree and never come down.
But she wasn’t wearing her ring.
I was pushed out the tree.
I kicked open my door.
My knees buckled and I fell to the dirt.
It was an empty road and a starless night.
I cried and howled.
I had lost her.
Reality was all that was left to me.
I had hit the ground.

Summary
It is about a couple, about how they have gone separate ways because she’s dying, and losing it, her life, hope, and love.

Reaction There are some situations in which we did not have a chance of winning, but there are also some situations that are worth fighting for, even if we lose.
