I lay my heart under the shade of the weeping willow <br />For the weeping willow weeps with me <br />I feel the gentle caresses of the breeze upon my face <br />I raise my face towards the sun <br />Just as I had turned my face to yours <br />The sun strokes my skin so warm and tenderly <br />Like your loving words on my grazed heart <br />Teasing away the pains of a love gone wrong <br /> <br />The branches billow in the wind around me <br />For the weeping willow dances with me <br />Dancing away to my hearts melancholy song <br />Caressing and soothing with each move <br />I close my eyes and embrace the moment <br />Just as I had once welcomed your warm loving enfold <br />I let the tears fall to wipe out the pain <br />As the clouds gather and the sunlight begins to fade <br />Those happy memories begin to leave me <br />I realise your promises were nothing but lies <br /> <br /> <br />I listen to the sound of the brook as it flows within my reach <br />I gently stir the cool water as it ripples around my toes <br />Life stands still in the delicate heartbeat of a moment <br />Paralysed in the balance of truth and time <br />Peace in its darkest form <br />Cradling my soul with its suffocating pain <br />I surrender my heart under the shade of the weeping willow <br />For the weeping willow weeps with me<br /><br />Lilac Wine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-lay-my-heart-under-the-weeping-willow/
