Willows bare no leaves
In the grave of broken dreams
A bird sits still
In the branches
of the willow that bare no leaves
Singing a song of sorrow
Of the lover who left her
She sings and sings
Nothing responds
The little bird dies
Never to be heard again

This piece was inspired by my broken heart with my first boyfriend who dumped me for my best friend.
