The River

[iamteddybearfeelmecuddle]

That island bay, and the river down the way

Dirty bank and a dirty shore

Talking is lying

You, begging; me, crying

You talk a lot, but you're not around

I was there, but you were nowhere to be found

Too much to drink, and a drugged up * * * * *

I don't think I want to know you anymore

What's the truth? How can I ever know?

Take your river, take your bay

I think I'll choose to walk away

Intriguing poem, it jogged a lot of old memories actually.

 

Thank you for sharing with us

Thanks PRSOV, now it reminded me of that old Warrant song, "I Saw Red", maybe I should have just posted that. The genders are backwards though...

Very clever poem, reminds me of the story called "Sonny's Blue".
