my, how you have become
rain on the vine
hope in the valley
courage in the shadows
promise in the wake of
tragedy
why, with you I can see the
bridge
and hear the gurgling of the
cool fresh waters below
but I have to ask
will your latent riptide
tear me to shreds
should I dive in just a little deeper
fool am I to admit?
that only you can know the answer
to this very this
we contemplate the outcome of
our combined futures
but for neither of us
are the dice set
to roll us a win.............
