The Weeping Willow
The dawn is once again upon us
As the sun arises without a warning
The ever sleeping bodies undisturbed
Buried beneath the cemeteries dirt
People forget I'm here sometimes
On the rare occasion I get a visitor
My heart begins to beat with the excitement of attention
Only to discover its a mourning loved one
Whispering to me about their loved ones who is no longer
They grab my branches and sway
As if I am setting them free
Reuniting them with the ones below and above
But then my heart feels torn
As they take a branch to their loved ones grave
As a symbol of their remembrance
Each time this happens my experiences change
The stories shange.
The confessions get deeper.
The sadness turns to happiness.
Then they forget me
Not coming back till its their time
To be buried beneath the vast cemetery soil
As the cycle continues
I will still be here
Growing sronger
FOREVER ALONE.
