She stands twelve feet above the flood
|
She stares
|
Alone
|
Across the water
|
|
The loneliness grows and slowly
|
Fills her frozen body
|
Sliding downwards
|
|
One by one her senses die
|
The memories fade
|
And leave her eyes
|
Still seeing worlds that never were
|
And one by one the bright birds leave her...
|
|
Starting at the violent sound
|
She tries to turn
|
But final
|
Noiseless
|
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
|
The water bows
|
Receives her
|
And drowns her at its ease...
|
|
Would I have left the world all bleeding
|
Could I only help you love
|
The fleeting shapes
|
So many years ago
|
So young and beautiful and brave
|
|
Everything was true
|
It couldn't be a story
|
I wish it was all true
|
I wish it couldn't be a story
|
|
The words all left me
|
Lifeless
|
Hoping
|
Breathing like the drowning man
|
|
You leave me
|
Breathing like the drowning man
|
Breathing like the drowning man...
