The river is silver
But not glittering
Reflecting the black sky
Menacing
Cold
Inviting
Promising
To succeed
To make it quick
To reduce everything
That was ever beautiful
Into the mud
Never to be seen
By living eyes again
The river is silver
But not glittering
Reflecting the black sky
Menacing
Cold
Inviting
Promising
To succeed
To make it quick
To reduce everything
That was ever beautiful
Into the mud
Never to be seen
By living eyes again
The urge for tears
Remains ever near
Ebbing deep inside
Flooding my heart
Holding me together
And tearing me apart
