I wanted to see a flood rush through you
Through your treacherous canyons
I wanted to see how hard your wind blew
To know the chill at the top of your mountains that rise like champions
I begged to see your trees snap
I wanted to stand on your ground, safe but shaking
I yearned to trace your worst memories on a map
I wished to see your skies though they were breaking
I wanted to crawl in your mind and see the wild that was caged there
You were a puzzle of broken pieces I longed to fix strategically
I wanted to be the one to save you while you were gasping for air
But I tried to witness you from a place it couldn't reach me
