Currents

Back to the place I once called home
Feeling everything and nothing at all
Seeing my reflection in the water
At the same place we fell in love with each other
Counting the freckles on my shoulder
Skipping heart shaped stones and promising me I’d never feel alone
I haven’t been back since you left me here to die
With broken clouds in your diamond eyes that shine brighter than the sky
The trees don’t seem as green, or so it seems
I’ve started a new life life and maybe that’s why it could be
So entangled in the lights that I’ve forgotten about the leaves
You can’t catch a view like this when you’re depressed in the city
Lungs so full of smoke I can hardly breathe
The air is making me choke, while searching for your voice in the breeze
Hoping to see the stars and that they’re out wherever you are
I was thinking the currents would take away the pain and spell out your name
But I’m drowning under the waves where I’ll never see you again
