The River

Skies went dark got hard to see

My body all stretched out

Territory to touch

And make a path to lead you down

If I could hold the wildest winds

From blasting through my house

Then I could shine a beacon

Whether floats fine yes or drowns

But there was no heat

It all had been extinguished snuffed right out

That was not the way

I meant to disappoint the crowd

If you want my center

Please don't slice so much around

And if you won't be having me

Watch the sorrow shake my mouth

And you don't want to hurt me

But you don't want to need me

So how can you receive me

Take a seat don't grieving be

Let's settle this all out

Then one by one

I'll take these from the caverns of my mouth

The teeth who mash

And teeth who make my tender muscles shout

A last goodbye to lose

What once I'd never known with out

And in my mind

The river runs a straight line through the town

Never bending only sending stuff from north to south

Under bridges fishes wear the currents like a gown

And I will swallow crookedness

Not let it drag me down

Afraid that if I cut you loose

You'd never again want me to

Embrace you in your solitude

Now in our eyes

We both still find the perfect place to rest

We'll unfold wings and fly a while

Before the next caress

The atmosphere will hold us dear

And teach us how it's best

To both feel free and satisfied

Our two souls will be blessed

Before my eyes the fireflies

They make the night sky low

Captured by the sounds of all

The horns that the frogs blow

Through tears so thick

Like glue they drip and build a castle slow

I can see you saved for me the sweetness

That still glows

And though you're still my hercules

Neptune's the one who's taken me

Come on lay that strength upon my sea

Steady the string

And snap it down the dust gets in my face

A borderline to not cross mind our manners

Keep in place

Still

I recall you once extended me with handsome haste

A rope to climb to call all mine

To ascend you with grace

Now we will burn the fog away

Our hearts are like the sun

We moved it now that's a way down

And though the change was rough

We'll find our lives are kinder

Without complications of

The fear in me that had taken seed

And crowded out the love

I want you and I let you go

Though we can still walk on the same road

If we don't try it we'll never know
