I remember when the willow stood
Casting her protective shadow on my naïve form
Great long branches tickled my skin in the moonlight
Safe under her curtain, I striped my mind
No one could have told me things were bad
I didn’t see the difference, I stood a chance
You said you had wings to fly
But I could glide on my own
I remember the night it burned
The embers fell around me, standing
Foolish, thinking I needed her no more
I took an ashen leaf in remembrance
Alone now, un-protected I crumble
No longer ignorant, my thoughts collect
I can’t do this on my own, but I can try
My curtain, gone forever, burned
Please tell me what you think
