ORNAMENT OF LOVE
She was just thirteen and so alone
no one to love or call her own
Tatianna was a broken child
she never laughed she never smiled
~*~
At her window for three long years
she gazed upon that tree of tears
She pictured herself hanging there
embracing death her life unfair
~*~
Her brother Tito her own twin
had passed away when they were ten
He's lay to rest beneath that tree
in a shallow grave for eternity
~*~
She longed to see him once again
she lived in fear she lived in pain
As she mourned upon his stone
she heard him crying there alone
~*~
In the darkness he was so afraid
he didn't know it was his grave
From the depths he called to her
not in a whisper not in a word
~*~
But in her heart she felt him say
why did you have to go away
I didn't leave I promise you
then realized what she must do
~*~
Through the branches against the moon
she whispered I am coming soon
So from that tree she hangs above
an ornament of a siblings love
~*~
