Willow of Sorrow

As day fades into night
My eyes close without sadness or delight
Taken within the night silent haze
I fall into the abyss of unconsciousness

With close open eyes
I see the lake of memories
As waves distill into hallow cries
It dries the dim land of misery

For willow trees sheds the leaves of despair
As two shadows of the past
Begin to dance in pair

Within their swift movements of emotion
Soon comes their devastation
As a young girl falls into depression
While a father show no care to this oppression

Softly the girl weeps her mistakes
For she is rejected from the woods of content
A home it used to be
But stain within is torment

So she lays on the soil of nothingness
As the willows comes to awaken
It blooms the leaves of sorrow
Only fed by her ebony tears of sadness
