Down by the river, where the shadows play,
I sit in the dusk, as the light slips away.
My heart feels hollow, like the branches above,
Caught in a whirlwind of forgotten love.
The water it whispers, sings tales of the past,
Of moments we cherished, too fleeting to last.
With each gentle ripple, I feel you near,
But the weight of my yearning is all that I hear.
The sun dips low, painting skies deep and blue,
While echoes of laughter fade out of view.
I drown in the silence, where memories flow,
Trapped in this twilight, caught in a throe.
The currents are restless, they pull me along,
Tugging at heartstrings, like an old blues song.
I reach for the shadows, but they slip right through,
Leaving me stranded, lost over you.
As night falls around me, I breathe in my pain,
This river of sorrow, runs deep like the rain.
But I'll keep on walking, through this hollowed ground,
With hope in my heart, where love can be found.
So I'll stand by the river, let the moonlight embrace,
And chase away darkness, with the dreams that we trace.
For even in sorrow, there's a glimmer of light,
As I search through the dusk, for a way to what's right.
In the depths of my yearning, I find a new song,
A promise of healing where I can belong.
And though the river flows, taking you far,
I’ll carry your memory, like a bright evening star.
Blues
River, sorrow, hollow, dusk, yearning
