FACTS
Weeping willow trees, which are native to northern China, are beautiful and fascinating trees whose lush, curved form is instantly recognizable

Carl Linnaeus , who designed the naming system for living things, believed weeping willows were the same willows found by the rivers of

Babylon in the Bible. Weeping willow trees get their common name from the way that rain looks like tears when it’s dripping off the curved branches.

Emotionally unavailable cos she’s been left unattended to

Tipping the odds like a scale of 10-2

Her beauty stops time

And the time is 1:50 (ten to two)

Still she saves me from the scorching heat 

Shading me with her tears,

Respite for my marching feet

Protecting me from my fears

She cries so I can be safe.

She’s my weeping willow

Standing tall between the mountains but still never hollow 

And she’s down to earth, her beauty beneath the surface 

And when tear drops hit the ground, dried up by time

Its a bittersweet contradiction like a cold furnace

Compassion is the addiction so she became mine

Standing Tall and standing strong 

Defying the winds of hate

The blows, they rain for so long

Still she accepts her fate.

she cries so I can be warm

Saving me from the storm

She’s my weeping willow

Never changing so I can conform

So I take comfort in her tears 

And I feel so repugnant 

But Alas I stick with her, and whatever the reason

Now I finally understand that she was never redundant

These are tears of joy, she sheds fruits every season 

Cause she will always be fruitful. 

Forever useful 

She’s my weeping Willow, she’s someone I’m used to.
