I thought my love for you was an earthquake Rupturing in my soul But as soon as I send this thought into the Oblivion of my mind Stuff this thought into a Bottle and send it down the river, I expected that I’d surely find it again someday, But for now, I no longer can feel The moving earth pounding my head Every second of every day.
That was the point of this all, you know I wanted the emotion gone Couldn’t handle the aftershocks that would ripple And threaten to undo the careful Knots that I had tied To hold up my shield I need to hide behind. I didn’t realize, though, That the river opens up to the ocean And the bottle keeps moving through and through and through Until the tether of the emotion to the words Is severed, gone.
There is no more flowing magma underneath my surface That threatens to bubble up and over, And once I thought this was what I desired When I sent my emotions out to sea But now all I feel is cut in half, Incomplete. The rest of me can’t live without its life source Which somehow got severed along with my ties to you. I wish it didn’t have to be this way But now I’m floating in space No air to breathe Hoping and wishing and waiting For the nebulas to send me into oblivion Or perhaps back home again.
