River

The river washes everything away All the evidence The remembrance Of things that happened in the past It doesn't worry about the mass Amount of people That it erases Doesn’t care about all the memories that will fade It just keeps going Flowing down stream Until there is no more room Then it begins to turn away From everything it has done It starts making its way back up Erasing everything that was newly formed It just erases who you were And who you are now Not caring about you at all And you ask why Why does this river Take everything Why does it erase something Just to erase it once more Is there a cure? A cure to this now red river Who has soaked in all the blood From all the personalities it has killed And just carries it on Tries to erase all the evidence Of who you once were But it flows red And that’s the constant reminder Of what you once had And maybe even want again But to go fish it out Would be a most dangerous voyage So you just sit and watch As the river flows red Hoping one day, you’ll build up the courage To go in and get The things that make you, you once again.
