The Willow Tree

Staring out my window
Time seems to drop by the wayside
The willow tree sways in the wind
As the sunlight dances between the branches
It's tears of green falling to the ground
I am but a child
Sitting below a weeping willow
Shaking though the sun shines through
Eyes held painfully open in fear
For in a blink the thoughts will return
And begin eating away at my mind
To leave me screaming without a voice
Crying without a single tear
In innocence pure desperation
Unable to understand
Why in love, pain awaits
A serpent to slither into your soul
Entangling your heart
Stealing your breath away
I sit here torn
Unable to move, reach my hand out
To the space I hope someone will fill
Wishing in ignorance for my mind to stop
So I can feel the wind fill my lungs
And my heart beat with in my chest
For I am just a child in this life
Hoping for someone to love me
