This River Runs Red

Moved on but it keeps comin’ back.

Nothing more haunting than the past.

Try to shake it all away

but these feelings choose to stay.

---

Pull me under, watch me fall.

Drag me down, and I crawl.

---

Caught dancing along fears edge.

One step too many-here comes the flood.

Waves batter me, this I pledge.

Tainted- this river runs red.

---

Will this never cease to end?

Release me from this web.

Can I ever truly mend?

Without breath- it's worse than death.

---

Pull me under, watch me fall.

Drag me down, and I crawl.

---

Lost in the red- future's uncertain.

How can I be if this won’t mend?

The poison plays and feeds inside,

I'm captive within this blackened mind.

---

I linger, here to stay.

Past- it lasts, until I fade away…
