Only Rivers Cry

To tell them
Is to let the world know
To show them
Is to make it a show
However you try to make them see
They ever really see deep enough
Still you may try

My soul’s a sea you can’t see
Maybe a simmer of my self
But never more will you ever see

You’ll never know my murky thoughts
Or how dirty my waters are
My waters used to be so clear
In my crystal past

Oh how the world broke in
And dumped toxic experiences and left
Oh how it would rain day after day in the quite night
Few sunny moments and many cloudy days
So full of life I used to be

Now so many skeletons hidden deep within me
Oh my life, it’s been a drought so lately
Such a dark sky but no rain oh why oh why
So dull so dry so sad it’s been
Even the stars don’t shine

Once my waters dry
And there’s no more left of me
Only then will people cry
Because people only seem to care
When you’re dead and dry
