down by the river

 

 

 

words you say

 

mean nothing,

 

(lip service), and even your eyes –

 

lie.

 

down by the river –

 

where you and I went walking –

 

(shallow water),

 

reflecting your (nothing) face –

 

(facade),

 

showing your feelings (less than darkness);

 

nothing is deeper than dark…

 

 

 

as much as – try,

 

to – care.

 

much more than do,

 

to – feel.

 

inability to respond is more victorious than nonchalance…

 

 

 

restricted?

 

bound by chains – unseen?

 

your lack of – want,

 

more painful than all the knives placed (emotionless) –

 

in my back!
