river veins
i soaked my hands in water
till they couldn't hold any more
my wrinkles like river veins
leading to the ocean
i turned my eyes to the sky
closed against the brightness
my eyelids letting light in
like a canopy of trees
these memories have lost their purpose
but their uselessness is something
i can rely on
and i'm not running
from anything anymore
i'm holding my ground and facing
whatever is on its way
i saw my fingers drift away
spilling on the table
holding tightly to whatever words
made their way to the page
i heard my mouth fall to pieces
as i tried to speak these thoughts
whatever tumbles out i hope
will find its way like the wind
these memories have lost their purpose
but their uselessness is something
i can rely on
and i'm not running
from anything anymore
i'm holding my ground and facing
whatever is on its way
till they couldn't hold any more
my wrinkles like river veins
leading to the ocean
i turned my eyes to the sky
closed against the brightness
my eyelids letting light in
like a canopy of trees
these memories have lost their purpose
but their uselessness is something
i can rely on
and i'm not running
from anything anymore
i'm holding my ground and facing
whatever is on its way
i saw my fingers drift away
spilling on the table
holding tightly to whatever words
made their way to the page
i heard my mouth fall to pieces
as i tried to speak these thoughts
whatever tumbles out i hope
will find its way like the wind
these memories have lost their purpose
but their uselessness is something
i can rely on
and i'm not running
from anything anymore
i'm holding my ground and facing
whatever is on its way
