Beneath the Willow Tree

Sometimes my mind wanders

And then I begin to cry

And my mind is consumed with thoughts

And I end up asking why

My heart starts to beat faster

And then my breath seems to go slow

My palms get sweaty

And then I walk out the door

I look at all the trees

I feel the cool air on my skin

But I cannot escape one thing

That is the wrath deep within

My skin starts to get hot

My stomach begins to cramp

I am doing so much thinking

That I feel like I am killing myself

I look forward and see everything

Yet I cannot take everything in

Something is happening within my mind

And I keep reliving a moment again and again

I love you……..

I think to myself

But I know it doesn’t matter

I always stuck by your side

No matter what happened

But what is love when you feel so bad

What is a feeling that isn’t returned?

I work myself up for disappointment

Yet I always return

I would say you have me hooked on you

But I haven’t a clue

I know I care about you

But do I care about myself too?

The air seems so calm out side

And I sit under the tree

I feel something wet on my face

Something I thought came from the tree

But how can this be??

It is sunny outside

Rain can’t come today

But the weeping willow is crying

And I think it is crying for me
