Awaited end

Awaited end

There was no other try
Left to make the best
Out of something so beautiful 
It was dead before it grew 
Anywhere, branches stretching 
deceased leaves waiting 
To finally fall, off this special
One thing, my heart has fought for 
This was not love 
An obsession, masked expensive colors 
Still the gray took its form
When it reached the end,
We couldn’t fathom the thought 
Yet I wonder if all along 

you knew.

I like the metaphor of the tree particularly "deceased leaves." That phrase alone is so redolent of the whole meaning behind your poem. I also like the line "still the grey took its form." Almost like there was an inevitability about it and sure enough, like all good writers, you leave the revelation to the last two words. Brilliantly done.
