Under the Willow Tree
I sit under the willow
My heart, it is breaking
Tears fall off my face
My soul, it is shaking
The sun smiles brightly
I look away from the glare
The rays burn my skin
And I can only stare
The love in my life
I feel it draining
Pain overwhelms me
I'm in need of saving
I pray for an ending
Whether it be happy or sad
I hope for a Prince Charming
To keep me from going mad
Chains hold onto my limbs
As I fight to be free
I'll never leave my prison
Of thorns, please save me
I cry and I scream
For some sort of release
My pain and my suffering
Shall it never cease?
I smile and I laugh
But it's all a lie
My life is a mask
To hide the tears I cry
