Deliver my heart to the river
And dip it down to its deep depths
For I never saw the sun rise
I only saw it set
The light disappeared that day
Along with you
It took your laughter
And my soul too
Grab my hand from the dark
And pull with all of your might
For my heart will die soon
And I just want to see the light
Wrap the soft seaweed tendrils
Around my hearts veins
And have it hold me close
Like the mother I’m yet to gain
Be the one to end my pain
And pull me up into the sunset
Out from the deep dark river
And fish my heart from its depths
Bring the hook into the soft flesh
And watch the blood dribble
And the little dark spots
Where the fish had nibbled
Even though I might now be whole
I will never be complete
For deep down that river
Still holds my defeat
