The Waterway

Riddles twisting through the scalps, Trace the paths that wind about Pouring out through the watery spout Like waterfalls, inside and out Possessed by a madness, Sadness reaps my every thought Isolated by my shadow, I’m laying in the dark And the river flows faster as the ferry embarks, Behind brown eyes, find a crimson spark As your prayer begins, He seeks the mark of a sin, Let the silver sink in, Embracing your skin And while every breath escapes from your heart, You ask him, “What makes thee force my depart?” With a love so strong, “Till death do us apart” Day after day, this phrase you’d impart. But when all control is powered by a fiend, Darkness meets light, and the two are convened. The passion of one causes will to concede, Even when sacrifice compels thee to bleed. And nothingness gathers to deliver me downward Live amongst souls, and regret begins to shower Blind to your ravenous taste to devour From the day we began, you’ve dwelled within power But confusion arouses where you don’t understand I continue to love you, beyond my command Dare you to rid me, you think that you can But I’ll linger in this stream, from now till your end.
