River of Will

River of Will

I stare into

the sea of my

past; a river drowning

under jealous waves of all

that I couldn't hold.

Darkness settles, and I

hide, discovering shadows

under my face, and sapphire

waves of crimson blood

pour across my heart. But

when my mind bears pain,

I press it down and tighten my grip.

I will not let go.
