Emotionally unavailable cos she's been left unattended to Tipping the odds like a scale of 10-2 Her beauty stops time And the time is 1:50 (ten to two) Still she saves me from the scorching heat Shading me with her tears, Respite for my marching feet Protecting me from my fears She cries so I can be safe. She's my weeping willow Standing tall between the mountains but still never hollow And she's down to earth, her beauty beneath the surface And when tear drops hit the ground, dried up by time Its a bittersweet contradiction like a cold furnace Compassion is the addiction so she became mine Standing Tall and standing strong Defying the winds of hate The blows, they rain for so long Still she accepts her fate. she cries so I can be warm Saving me from the storm She's my weeping willow Never changing so I can conform So I take comfort in her tears And I feel so repugnant But Alas I stick with her, and whatever the reason Now I finally understand that she was never redundant These are tears of joy, she sheds fruits every season Cause she will always be fruitful. Forever useful She's my weeping Willow, she's someone I'm used to. ~Soul~

Facts Weeping willow trees, which are native to northern China, are beautiful and fascinating trees whose lush, curved form is instantly recognizable Carl Linnaeus , who designed the naming system for living things, believed weeping willows were the same willows found by the rivers of Babylon in the Bible. Weeping willow trees get their common name from the way that rain looks like tears when it's dripping off the curved branches. http://garden.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Weeping_Willow_Tree_Facts

Nice.. This can easily pass as a rap verse in a slow song.. although the first part was a bit off, the wordplay wasn't necessary.. |

Op, you're a budding poet with a lot of potentials. I like that you used the weeping willow to describe your concept of a lover/female. Good Job. |
