Beneath the branches

You'll find me under the stars
Beneath the branches of a willow tree
Longing for something 
That'll never be seen
2 parts slave
1 part free
Forgotten by lovers
Forgotten by me
Wrapped in a blanket of roots and earth 
A pillow of twine 
No shoes
Jeans and a shirt
I'll wait for thee 
Beneath this willow tree
In hopes 
You'll bring me
A dream 
To believe
