So beautiful
So innocent
So it begins
As it always does
Pure intentions
Pure of heart
Loneliness carving a hole in your empty heart
Dripping need from your tired fingers
Promises diving off of your innocent tongue
Swimming past the break
Dancing within the infinity
Of chance
Exploring the vast
Openness of uncertainty
Wishing all would stay well
Needing comfort
Certainty
Pulling back
Swimming slowly back to shore
Inching closer to reality
Looking back on "the way it was"
Walking out of the water
Turning around
And
She's not there
She's drowning
You frantically realize
Drowning in your promises
Your smooth tonguedness
Your evil serpent ways
You start to run
Running until your swimming back out
Out to the depths of sanity
Out to where you have never been
Until you cant go any further
And you tire
So you turn back out of fear
And find yourself alone
Standing on the tear soaked beach
Aware of your misdeed
But unable to deny
Truth
Lonely again
Where is my truth
