Cry me a river

Cry me a river
Now won't you darling?
Drown me in the salty waters
Only to pull me out
And twirl me in your arms. 
Cry me a river
Now won't you darling?
Take me by the hand 
And extort my longings
Pull them from deep within my chest. 
Cry me a river
Now won't you darling?
Twist my heart and tear it in two
Put it back together so it becomes something new. 
Cry me a river
Now won't you darling?
Don't let me fall, don't leave me here alone
Cry me a river so it can become our home.
Cry me a river
Now won't you my darling?
Sink beneath the surface with me
Until the river becomes a sea
Of my darlings tears for me.

  • Mother to Child

    From the day you were born I loved you unconditionally. 

    I loved you every second, of every minute, of every day. 

    When you were born, I was reborn alongside you. 

     

  • Lake

    Fall

    You are still, but the bright trees around you shake. 

    Colored leaves fall onto your surface.

    The wind howls, but you are calm. 

  • One: A Tale of Love

    I never realized

    There was a big difference between

    Being in love

    And loving someone.

    Not until you came along.

     

    I’ve come up with an idea.

    I call it

    The hole of love.
