No One Takes Me to The River Anymore

No One Takes Me To The River Anymore

Each moment spent noticing the subtleties is another second stolen

So I can’t forget, because attention is all I have

Even your hurt is fleeting,

You rushing out is locked into my being like a current beats against the shore

No one takes me to the river anymore

I promise to not shatter this time

I’ve learned to love the rain so this life would have meaning

If I don’t adore gray skies, I’m barely alive

And I won’t get to swim in water

Without thoughts, under by the rocks,

Brushing by mysteries, feeling only motion

This gives purpose to the infliction of voices

What we have in common still and all that’s left

Dues to the same source, the same endings

I understand your love now

You nearly froze to death that winter just to feel revived

I watched you let ice creep into limb while you tried to forget your age

But we don’t believe in the same time

You are a soul spinning around itself

You are endlessly remembering your nights and forgetting to look upwards

You will be found in the recollection of dreams forever

A love that circles in and out, in and out to a mouth at sea
