In the Willows

Perchance is it you dream
Of the widow in the willows
Down by the tranquil stream

Raindrops fall contritely
On a soft summer breeze
As they both sway slightly

By drawn blades and desire
Did her two beloveds meet
Consumed by their own ire

And as both lay dying
By her own greed no less
She just kept on crying

Guilt ate at her inside
So, holding a rope, she walked
Down to where they had died

Now amongst the willows
Does her dead body still hang
Swaying in the shadows
