LXXXI
WATER
Every second drowns
I stand before seas
Your touch makes me smile
Your gift makes me live
Your heart is so pure
Your soul lingers through
Fingers, elbows, knees
Shoulders, temples, feet
You run throughout me
You fill many days
You make so much sense
You teach, create, give
I can ask no more
I can never pay
It's too much for me
When I give you none
When I bring you shame
All my hatred out
I feel you don't care
When I feel so numb
Every tick is pain
Every mem'ry aches
Every story ends
With a bitter tear
Yet you comfort me
You don't close your doors
You come to my place
With a happy drop
Trickling down my face
You try to love me
It's not all the worth
Sadness crashes back
All your efforts gone
Never to be seen
I stand before waves
The storm rages on
Peace to you and me
Thank you for your time
Every second drowns
