Walking by the riverbed,
drowning my thoughts,
and regrets.
Rocks sink quickly,
like my heart,
ever since,
you chose to depart.
Never again,
I cannot swim.
Been searchin’ for,
a light to hold,
and wane away the darkness a little more.
Stars grow dim,
like the tunnel entrance,
slipping further away,
disconnected romance.
Never again,
I cannot see.
The night is cold,
the frost is thick,
and I am growing old.
My fingers and face,
have become numb,
like my weak heart,
when we’re not one.
Never again,
I cannot feel.
The world has gone gray,
an empty canvas abandoned,
when did you even go astray?
Everything seems like nothing,
colorblind to the emotions around,
like a dog trying to define a rainbow,
or the deaf’s hope of enjoying a sound.
Never again,
I cannot hear.
War torn,
my heart cries,
like a newborn.
And like a newborn,
I have become immature,
to what love truly is,
you have distorted my perception,
forever.
Never again,
I cannot love.
