Hope Trees


The darkness envelopes me Hanging trees in groups of three. One is for me, one for you, The other for the dead too. So meet me there soon tonight By the hope tree at midnight. See me hanging by my neck Then your life becomes a wreck. See moon's shimmer softly pass As toes swing above the grass. Then you see the rope for you And you hang from the tree too. And then people cut down the trees Moms and dads hug their knees Wishing their kid to come back But there is something that they lack: LOVE.
