The Willow

Have you ever seen a man

Whose eyes are stone

And cold

Whose frozen lips have sinned against 

The woman

He used to hold 

He's all Alone,

too afraid,

to face

what he has done

to the Weeping Willow

sobbing sweet 

For what she had but now has gone

they carry on together 

drifting fast apart 

the willow and the lonely man

with a weeping 

Broken Heart 

The willow stops

she dries her eye

they can not see her sad

Her roots are strong

though she cries

for the love she thought she had.

the willow takes her children

she plants them far away 

she finds the pieces

of her broken heart 

and hides them carefully.

the willow knows

she is enough 

Her love will suffice

The willow walks

away from her vice

the lonely man

and sees the light of day.
