electro-shock therapy

the river meant everything
as it floods through the rocks
& there’s nowhere for the water
to go so it’ll well in my eyes

until the tingle in my chest
pushes a current of pain
that surges through my heart

electrocute the feelings,
but don’t save my love for you
let me forget the river,
the calm after the storm

let me go this time,
i’m not your wave in your ocean
i’m not your anything
