Your Voice

Your voice is deep
your words cut deep
you are always on my mind
day and night,

you give me so much fright,
I weep throughout the night
I pray for your memories
to leave me,

but the years are still yours
I'm alone crying on my pillow
outside my window
I see a big willow tree
it looked as lonely as me.
