Everything I Love

Everything I love turns to water, I've tried to hold it in my hand, but it trickles through my fingers, just like water All I've ever wanted turned to water I've drown in what I thought was just a dream I cannot breathe, I'm under water. All I ever thirsted for is water but it's a babbling brook I cannot understand I cackles as it courses through my fingers I'm left with just a dampness on my hand Everything reflects upon the water everything's an image in this pool to reach for such an image is your folly the idol becomes a ripple, and you a fool it's only water
