Rivers

It goes deep into the soul, streaming into an emptiness of who we are

I stand ready to deliver and make true the Love I have, only to be held steady

Agony saddens me into a rage of tears, broken within only to show the exterior of hate

I have found that although you see the truth nothing can prepare you for the lies



Does life mean to go on?  Or does it discourage you to end it all in a pool of blood?

Deny me the life I wish but do not take from me the only reality I know

She wears the shroud of truth the colors of purity, and feelings of what faith really is

My heart has been taken from me and turned inside out, abandoned to be alone



I look into her eyes only to fall so deep in love, to drop into what seems the only thing worth living

I sit to think of the times we share, to feel as though it is shortened and taken from me always

I hate the feelings that come to the surface when I depart from her, the hate in my soul for losing faith

Though time is only but a few seconds a day, the hours seem eternal through a glass with no clarity



She says the words so sweetly and honestly, lovingly like no other before her has spoken

So gentle does she hold me against her with Love never felt in my life

I don’t know what the meaning is, but I know the ending is but ever so joyous to die in love

Her touch brings me life, makes me feel power within my soul completing a man



Do you feel rays breaking the darkness of your heart?  Allowing for love giving joy to bring life to death!

I pray every day and I ask God to make me understand, I cry for the feelings I hold so dear to me

I don’t know what it is to be happy, but when I am with you bliss seems so calming

I have spent my time holding my heart so gently and lovingly, to have it broken every time



May I never be reminded that to awake is to end a beautiful dream, for if a dream it is I need it so

Please know that every word I speak to you is true, that all I feel is unique and only meant for you

That when I touch you and caress every part I only feel true love for you that these tears I shed are yours

I sit here now with rivers streaming down, fearing that my heart is full of what it shall never be able to keep



I don’t know why I cry every time I think of you, how I feel so empty thinking of feelings and your love

God has played with my emotions by allowing me to fall in Love; I tend to forget who I am because of this

I don’t believe in faith, I don’t want my soul and I don’t know what truth is any longer

For rivers have taken my life away, and separated me from the one I would call my heart.
