Lover Beneath the Tree
He saw her beauty lain beneath the blossom tree
He followed slowly with the breeze
As if to find the words
She looked upon his weathered face
Fingers laced around his cheek
He kissed those lips as if to say goodbye
Then spoke what stopped her movement
"My love is on thee outs
When tomorrow comes I'll no longer love you
I cannot endure your pain
Your heart wrenching pain
We have grown indifferent
And my heart belongs to someone else
Forgive me, my love, forgive me."
His hand dropped down
Letting her go
And with that he walked away
Her once love disappearing into the horizon
Her beauty lain back against the tree
Blossom petals fell upon her eyes like raindrops
Caressing tears...
To love. She thought. Is to love all of someone
To not give up
To not give up
Her eyes now drenched in tears
Lain in despair with the cease of the sun...
