Poem
Forsook my tears
Misplaced my memories
Forgot the years
I hope I'll forget me

Oh you have seen, my love
The way our lives have fallen down
Like broken rubble at our feet
Silence the only sound
That we could hear
As we lay looking
At each others' shadows in the mirror

And the river-water passes by me
As I look at what we'd see
Those nights when only points of light
And one bright sliver lit the night
When shadows fell upon the water
Intertwined, faded away
This was that place
The river where we'd realize
That every face
Was just a mask
That every heart
Was full of stars
And misery
The place where we would go to find
That only our lives weren't enough
That, deep inside, we'd never be complete

And so we knew
How we were naught
We, filled with holes we never sought
Were desperate for a shining star
Among these dying suns

But in these waters, where we prayed
And where we made our tourniquet
When?
I forget the times when we would feel alive
Just you and I
And some unspoken lie
That we would name our God
And hope that it would make us whole

It only left us cold

Yes, you and I, my love
Were not enough
And so, yes, you and I, my love
Are here, down by the river's side
The willow's weeping on your eyes
As clouds pour down clear sympathy
For lost ones such as you and me
Why could I never realize
That what I tried so hard to find
Was buried deep inside
Where I have never been alive

Your body floats further downstream
The blood and water mingling
I've cried such tears, I'm almost blind
No more light by this river's side

I'm washed in this last of redemptions
In this night of empty skies
I drown in this, the end of all
Because of what I can no more deny

Is there a cure for empty eyes
Or is this love with hollow cries
This faith in something more than night
All of this nothing more
Than our own suicide
