Rivers Edge

Something broke that day in ways I never thought I could break 

The story seems to be getting stale like old bread they said 

But it’s the poison I ingested 

I watched the arms of the clock 

Pause for a moment 

At the time I found we became disconnected 

I visit this memory where we are still kissing 

To pretend the nightmares never happened . 

It’s like layers of blankets 

Us. 

Never to be uncovered or forgotten 

Someone tries to touch it 

Uncover it 

Its an open wound and I still cry for it 

Try to make sense of it . 

I’m alone you see

In this world 

I been lost since you left home 

I been left searching 

I always thought you would be lost with out me 

I’m a mess 

I don’t care who does not understand that 

I pray wherever you are 

You feel it . 

My friends they want me to be happy 

But I’m happy remembering you smiling at me . 

That memory fades as I’m left here clutching . 

I pray for God to heal me . 

As I try to sleep .
