River

In the Darkness where I dwell
I can hear the river I know so well
It flows from my broken heart
In and out like waves that part
Cold fingers pierce my soul
Ripping and tearing what makes me whole
People speak and arrows flew
Who understands the tiny clue?
In my sorrow, I tempt Fate
Is it already too late?
Ties of blood are rivers too
Division makes from one two
I try so hard that I bleed
It's a sacrifice, and a plead
Upon deaf ears, it does fall
Like a dog, you do maul.
You steal and lie, portray a mask
You give an answer before the question's asked
You judge and jeer--It's justified
If you feel guilt at all, you'll just testify
Beware the stones that you throw
It's a glass house that you're owe
I live in my deep Darkness
With the shadows that I bless
I fear their cold but not their touch
I could teach you so much
But you are not a student, seeking knowledge
You are the master; this lie you pledge.
Listen to the river as she sings
Hear the popple of concentric rings.
The river flows within and out.
Ebbs and flows does its clout
I lay wounded in its flow
One beat, two, both are slow
In the Darkness where I dwell
The last I hear is the river's wail.
