“When there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.” –a line in a song performed by the Stars When the river was empty, you moved on I stayed, gaining nothing but age. The days felt like decades wading through the ash and dry cigarette butts; our past flooded our once damp un-barren land now dry as rock. My reality passed then torment brought me to the edge of our trail where the river turned back upon itself going nowhere teaching me that time just needs time to forgive time to take you back to at all that you know now, I just need a match.
