Crystal Clear Water

For you, I'd wait forever.

This I know now more than ever.

A prisoner to you, willing to be captive - but please my dear be cautious.

I am beneath the blade of a guillotine and your hand is resting on the lever.

I know it isn't clever, saying you have the power to sever,

But with you it's so easy to lose my head.

An image so grim you might find it hard to see.

The glistening of crystal water in the rampant river.

If we parted today I could not wish you the best on your endeavor.

It's me you should be with, not her or whoever!

It's hard to be apart from you, a day an hour, at all or ever.

Wait—I think I've forgotten to breathe.

I can't think clearly, it's water instead of air I heave.

Maybe I'm drowning here.

It's hard to tell if I'm underwater now.

This moving water is so rippled but clear,

Like seeing through crystal—wow.
