Challenge
January Drabble: "Some would say your life was sad,
but you lived it anyway" lyrics challenge
Incorporating lyrics from the song, "Far Behind" by Candlebox, tell me a story in exactly 100 words. Stick enough of the lyrics in your drabble to make it obvious you're following the challenge goals, but you don't have to copy/paste big chunks. I'm curious to see what y'all can do with prose on a song lyric challenge; my last lyrical prompt generated some STELLAR stuff. Get after it! Winner selected by me sometime in early Feb, entries need to be written as prose following conventional spelling, punctuation, and grammar to be considered eligible for a win or honorable mention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHi8bwGsaKE

Broken Trees
Looping roots grown together as time floats by on the breeze in ever shifting colors. Brush the leaves aside, look at were we've grown together, twisted so tightly I thought we could never be unraveled. You see I know how you changed, fearing I would do the same.
You ripped us apart trying to preserve me. But bare bloody roots are all that I still have. I would have stayed with you, but you left me far behind, not wanting me to change in the same ways that you had. I thought I should tell you I did it anyway.
