This was an assignment to write a ballad. This is a companion piece to 'I am a River'.
How could they say that?
Join me
Face cold without a hat
Come to the river
Tears falling all around
Join me
Feet pounding to the ground
Come to the river
Legs collapsing all aquiver
Join me
Resting lightly like a feather
Come to the river
Slipping down, sliding
Join me
Pulling hard, tugging
Come to the river
Screaming into the black
Join me
Water has what she does lack
Come to the river
Pictures flash before her eyes
Join me
Of living life full of lies
Come to the river
Fish pass before eyes un-gleaming
Join me
Swimming in a world un-breathing
Come to the river
Sinking up to the air
Join me
To cold wind laying bare
Come to the river.
