Crossed The River

I thought this up last night:

 

She left, crossed a river,

Didn't come back,

 

I fed it with my tears, let the currents grow strong

 

Everyday I'd think,

Everyday I'd call,

 

I tried to build a bridge to get to her,

I did,

I ran, I jumped, I crawled to get to her.

 

She kept on walking,

Didn't notice my running,

 

I fed it with my tears,

Sides began to errode,

 

I forgot to call,

 

The river only got higher,

It grew faster and the bridge began to fall,

 

My heart tried to leave me a message,

Like I gave her messages every once in a while.

 

It told me she was gone, it said that she left,

The river was too strong,

 

It only got stronger, with every tear,

It grew bigger,

It grew faster,

 

With every thought that hit my mind,

I didn't know what to do,

 

Where has my heart gone?

Did it fall into the river?

Did it fall into the river?

 

Washed away with all the tears,

All the dirt,

All the sticks,

All the stones,

All the bones,

 

My heart lost it's home,

On the other side of the river,

She took it away,

My heart, she stole it

 

My body went through withdrawal,

Without a heart, what can you do?

 

I learn't to live with it, eventually I crossed the river too.

 

But not for long,

I fell apart,

It's impossible to live without a heart,

 

My tears fell hardest,

The river became a sea,

An ocean

 

Impossible to cross,

You took my heart and tore me apart,

You left,

Without it, I cried, I died,

 

Divided by the current,

I faded away.
