I think it was the water
Coming in
And going out-
Never pausing
Never faltering
Just an endless
And perfect
Procession
Yes,
I believe it was the water
That drew us in.
It was cloudy
That day we took our
Swan dive
That day we made our
Cliff jump
And the waves
Just splashed and roared
Beneath us...
Above us:
Just daring us...
To plummet
Through that icey water;
Abandon
Both our fear of time
And our fear of ourselves
Oh it was certainly the water
That let me find her
And it was certainly the water
That gave her reason
To find me
Of course
It was also the water
That allowed me to betray her
And her to betray me
It was the water
That allowed us
To strip one another's humanity away
And leave each other trapped
Amidst that terribly consistent roaring
Forever
