Weeping willows

6 1 0
                                    

The day my breathing ceases,
And my soul flies free,
Bury me under the willows,
For they will gladly weep for me

Let my body lower,
Back into its natural state,
For 6 feet under sounds quite comfy to me,
For it's the above that I've grown to hate

Let my brain go silent,
And my heart do one last leap,
Before I find peace in the darkness,
And I sleep my final sleep

The willows hold me dear,
As the last hint of color leaves my face,
And I'm no longer here,
into the darkness I am entwine,
Because I was nothing but a disgrace,
Pretending to be fine
