view my life as liquid
flowing through the stream
you slowly become addicted
because it's like a dream
windows break light
on pices scattered through
this river is my life
flowing after you
tumbling
we fall, slip, lose our grip
the lake that awaits
is going to consume us
we are waiting at its gates
as we crash with a bang
the world that we know
the calm, the serene
essence of the flow
is disturbed, shattered
broken in two
none of this mattered
when i still had you

Flowing down another stream
another joined my cause
and as it is, the world seems
to stop a moment and pause
this other is a river
one that goes on for miles
and i have not yet felt the shiver
the coldness of the isles
i no longer feel hurt
the breeze pushes me by
and now i know my worth
there are are no falls ahead.
