Chop! Chop!!

Chop! Chop!! Came the sound...
And a sharp pain with it..
As I looked down, waking up from a deep slumber,
Saw an axe, in my dear friend's hand.
My heart ached..

Chirp! Chirp!!
Birds made the sound. 
As they saw what was happening..
I stood there silently, bearing the pain..
As all the birds started to fly away,
in search of a new home..

Chop! Chop!! Chirp! Chirp!!
Went on the sound..
As I drifted of to the times, I saw him for the first time..
Bundled up in a tiny blanket and lots of joy, he was cute little boy..
Soon became a naughty toddler, running towards me,
with his mother in tow, trying to feed him..
So grew our friendship,
as we both listened to mother's stories, day after day...

Chop! Chop!! Chirp! Chirp!!
Came the sound..
And I looked at him..
Slaving in the sun..
To take me down..
I wondered if he remembered all those summers,
he played with his friends, in my shade..

Chop! Chop!! Chirp! Chirp!!
The sound went on..
Oh wait, but there is more this time..
There was a cry for help..
It wasn't me.. Wish I could..
Not for my pains..
But for the splinter, that hurt his finger..
I wondered if he remembers,
the time when he sat by my side,
And cried for all the heartaches..

Chop! Chop!!
Came the sound, intense this time..
I looked down at my friend, as he stepped aside to let the others work..
Then I saw.. Tears trickling down his cheeks..
As his wife, tried to comfort him, saying that it's for the better..

Chop! Chop!!
Came the sound..
I couldn't look down anymore..
Leaving me behind, my friend is moving on to a new chapter, with his friends..
As I tried to find comfort in his tears before giving up..
I wished he dint have to forsake me for his future.
