Prompt Poetry

the water in my veins

i can't think of much

i can only see

try to process it

try to get beneath

somewhere near the roots of trees

water in the crevices

vain as one can be 

if you could see me

in the darkness

then you must be a light

if you can grow me

from the soils

then you must be the sunshine

i need a guide

a guide

the water in my veins are not enough

i need a guide

a guide

the water in my veins are not enough

i don't think much

anymore

i just look up to you

i spend my days in my head

empty and sort of blue

if you could see me

in the darkness

then you must be a light

if you can grow me

from the soils

then you must be the sunshine

i need a guide

a guide

the water in my veins are not enough

i need a guide

a guide

the water in my veins are not enough

and you don't need to be blood

you don't need sun

you don't need be anything for me

you just be yourself

and i'll follow your lead

i will do for you as you do for me

and you don't need to be anything 

but who you are

and you need to be my guide

but if you could

please oblige

i need a guide

a guide

the water in my veins are not enough

I need a guide

not just to live to be alive

but you guide up into the sky

there is a stairway to heaven

and i'm hanging on

but if I let go

well let's hope that i don't

sometimes it feels like

the water in my veins are not enough

sometimes it feels

that I need a guide that I can trust

I need a guide

I need a guide

I

the water in my veins are not enough
