River Pain
I know it’s out there in a place where I haven’t
looked before. We’re both running away in
a land that has no name. I want to escape this
insanity that knows me by name, leave all
my pain in the dust. Maybe the wind will whisk
it away to an honest land. Let’s meet at the river
and clean our souls together. Let the water
trickle down with our fears, dry away our embedded
tears. We’ll carry the rainbow on our backs and
name our honest land.
