I took a stroll down by the murky river
and cast a stone into the dark
never expected it to bounce back
making such an impending mark

see I bring my truths and secrets
in bags-full to the shore
and send them down like rocks and brick
to the darkness, and the secrets it has bore

Yet many moons have past
since first I've met this face
found this river's murky waters
in my soul's most darkest place

and never since have I encountered
another soul besides
my ghosts of  past mistakes
in the depths where they reside

but today a man in hipster clothes'
was resting on my dam
the water was like rubber now
to float this awkward man

the stones I dared to throw today
,he caught them with both hands
;threw them back from where they came
declaring his demands

I held them tight and felt their warmth
whilst mockingly he tried
to make me answer the only question
to thus far, I've denied

so in return I threw to him
my hearts last shattered piece
satisfied; he dropped it down
, in the dark depths... left to cease
Sometimes people **** you over and over for something, and fill you with hopes... yet when you give them what they want they smash your expectations and enjoy having had that power over you
