The River

from Needing by Jem Sabre

/

about

I was down by the river that my crazy ex would take me to while I was still brainwashed by his deranged thought processes. I leave my baggage in this river now, embedded in my mind through this song that is now a mantra to me.

The second half of this song, the part that is not included in the lyrics, is the struggle that I face to this day when flashbacks occur. Though it's easier for me to deal with now, There are still parts I choose not to face or share. That's why the lyrics are muddied and not written.

lyrics

The tear's only matter floating down by the river

I give a shiver with the nature as the wind remembers and shoves

And all of the laughter that I can hear after the storm is the chatter

of the men with their doves



(Chorus)

I never wanted this winter
I never wanted this dry weather to wither against me


The fear's only matter floating deep in the river

I give a shiver as the bend forever ebbs and flows

Can you sustain the quiver? The racing waters

against the thoughts in my head that deliver and mold?



Chorus



There is a warmth that

will never go away

it will always be around

In my darkest moments

it will never go away

it will always be around

in my most empty moments

it will never go away

it will always be around

in my darkest moments

my most empty moments

waiting for acceptance
