Underneath the willow tree

Where you became you and I became me

Underneath the whispering leaves

I believed in magic

-

We grew fast and made new friends

But we both would break before we’d bend

So never able to make amends,

I still held onto the magic

-

Underneath the football stands,

Where everything discarded lands,

That day my heart crushed in your hands:

I saw you, her, and our forgotten magic

-

Do you remember the day I died?

I curled up and hid inside

So you came to me and you lied

Just so I could feel the magic

-

Underneath the willow tree

Where I once thought I could be free,

Underneath the whispering leaves,

I am hostage to the magic
