Was I your river,
always moving
and going nowhere?
You were my ocean,
standing still,
you were everywhere.
Both directions
felt like dying,
felt untrue.
My reflection
was dragged over stones
but I still ran to you.
Is that all you have?
Was I too much, too fast?
Don't make me laugh
at myself,
I was saving you for last
and I don't know why.
Were all your others
just as fearful
as I of you?
The waves don't cover
all those souls
who thought that they loved you.
Salt and bitter:
I pour myself in
with a crashing sound.
The blood gets thinner,
yours inside me,
I begin to drown.
Was that all you had?
Was I too weak, too sad?
Don't make me laugh
till I cry,
I was saving you for last
and I don't know why.
Now you tell me that it wasn't laughter
and you were only ever playing actor:
only trying to avoid disaster
because there was only one thing I was after
all this time.
Tomorrow I'll wake up and I'll feel fine
and you won't ever cross my mind
and I don't know why.
