River

Just what do you think you're doing

disrupting my dreams with your face

I thought I told you to leave and never come back

I thought I told you to go away

 

Plainly you didn't listen

because here you are yet again

pushing back into my mind once more

like this was all some part of your plan

 

I thought I had my wall built pretty well

until you came in and knocked it down

I thought I had made it pretty clear

when I told you I didn't want you around

 

But now I'm doubting my vision

because my request was clear as mud

or maybe the river just doesn't work

when it's your eyes that made the flood

 

and maybe sometimes the bridge you need to build

it just doesn't want to stand

and you need a boat to cross the river

and get back on dry land

 

or maybe sometimes I need to let you in

give into the truth, to what is real

admit to the fact it's still there

the love I used to feel

 

admit to the want and need

which still fills my every thought

admit its true that until you lose it

you don't know what you've got

 

you can't take back the mistake you made

to get this wheel turning

but you still can't help the hurt

the hurt that keeps your heart burning

 

the flame there is bright

and it refuses to lessen its glow

and thats because you don't want this back

the flame gains fuel off what I know

 

I don't know how much more I can take

before my feelings all erupt

and I don't know how much longer I can try to be strong

to do what they say and hold my head up

 

Because I'm not that stable

I'm walking on a rough shaky ground

and any second, with no warning

I could come tumbling down

 

but for now I'm going to try my best

and do everything I can do

and leave you with three parting words

don't forget, I Love You.

Wonderful write.
The last stanza makes me spellbound.
