my heart feels empty
so empty that it feels heavy in my chest
knowing that nothing is inside
only makes me want to cry

i sit under the willow as i weep
my long dress covered
in the girl i use to be
i trace my long, thin fingers
across the memories on the fabric
my tears stain the cloth
from white to red

my thoughts wander back
to the darkness of death
i had wished it would come
in hopes that it would remove the bad
that made me the girl i am today

i miss the girl i use to be
that girl was happier
she was full of love
she cared so deeply
she was stronger than she thought

i keep trying to get her back but
here i am sitting under the willow
weeping for the part of me i lost
weeping for him as i watch him fall apart
weeping because of the past
weeping because of the future

i am the girl who weeped like a willow
i am the girl who still weeps like a willow
