The Willow Tree
There was an old willow tree;
We used to sit there, you and me
In the middle of our field
It's been years since my heart has healed
But the memories still remain.
We would sit underneath that tree;
And talk about all those things we would see
All of those things we planned to do
Oh its so hard to forget about you
The memories don't go away
It was a few weeks since we saw the tree;
We both became too busy
The dreams began to fade
I wish that you had stayed
The memories keep coming back
Today I look at the stump of our tree;
And wonder why you left me
I look at your name in stone
And feel the cold seep into my bones
The memories bring tears to my eyes
How I miss our willow tree
Greed
When we come to an end
The trees will rejoice
For they will not have to defend
One more human choice
We insisted upon destroying this world
But what harm did it cause us?
We made the flowers brown and curled
So maybe it leaving wouldn't be such a fuss
It could have all been solved
If we just treated each other the same
But instead we left thousands of murders unsolved
Deep down, we know we're to blame
We are the killers of this place
And for that, we are a disgrace.
Bliss
Under the cloudless sky, the pain goes away
How could one be somber on such a brilliant day?
Days like this are hard to come by
So how could anything go awry?
Shadows
In the stillness of the night,
Our demons come out to play
Taunting and tormenting
Until our beings turn into nothing
But shadows
Begging for mercy
