Weeping Willow

Weeping Willow,
Why are you weeping so?
Is it because you mourn for your lost lover?
He left and he took Death
On this fingertips
You loved him for so long
And he loved you too
If only he didn't leave
You would be happy
And joyful.
Instead,
You are sad
And depressed
Why is that so?
Are you crying because
You know how much
He didn't want to leave you?
And yet,
You still weep.
You tell me you were sad
With him
But now you cry still.
What does one do
To make a weeping willow
Stop her tears?

nice. the image i get from it is pretty cool. the poem is ponderous and thoughtful. your poems have that the-voice-in-my-head kind of feel. this was pretty sad and tragic, but pretty cool, still. nice work
