Apon the Pillow

Apon the pillow he  rests his head.
I wonder would hatred consume.
His lover if only his thoughts were read.

For you can be  with one and yern for another. 
Kiss tainted lips.
Taste the salt of a minutes ago lover.

Strong was the oak to her weeping willow.
Regret  touches everyone .
As it stains memeories left apon the pillow.

No night has to empty no bed cold.
It doesnt have to be love.
we all need someone  to hold.

Stories I do not care to hear.
A moment shared is just that.
For tommorow another will be here.

The has fallen so does stand the willow.
To take a place is not to belong.
Leaving only a trace of love apon the pillow.
