Beneath the weeping willow tree,
Are leaves of fallen glass,
That shatter as they hit the earth,
On contact with the grass.
Beneath the weeping willow tree,
Is cast a night, so black,
And I swear, as you walked away,
I almost called you back.
Beneath the weeping willow tree,
Upon a bed of ice,
I thought about it, once, again,
And then I thought about it twice.
Beneath the weeping willow tree,
I wore upon my sleeve,
A dagger, born of love and loss,
Used only to deceive.
