The Ravine

So they called you Ravine
I mean, I am no one to speak
Auto-mobiles can ship us away
Why do you hide when I'm weak

So they gave you this name
So that one day, we'd know we are the same
So you'd play a vicious game
Where there's no way I could stray

They knew that you'd entice me
With your sharp edges, dark crevices, piercing gaze
A well groomed element
A beautiful disaster, in the summer haze

So they called you Ravine
I wondered if you were make believe
I wondered how your mind survived
The circus that crossed your sweet demise

The Ravine is so smart
He's candid slick and precariously fine
and it's cordially sick
and I just can't get enough of it

It's like heroin, though I've never tried it.

Nothing makes sense any more, not like it did very much before
Though you stole my soul and swallowed me dry
A weighty pill stuck in your throat
and with a paradoxical eye, we cry

Sorry for being disrespectful
especially when I was judgemental
I cannot imagine being in your shoes
Your distressed proclamation was my ultimate muse

And I want nothing more than to be in your arms
Once again, you are vacant from my dreams.
You were an ambiguous reason to care
Should I continue this way, uncertain if I dare

If I follow this path, I'll reminisce with sorrow
Because there's no requirement of faith in tomorrow.

Mind is exhausted
Fables for me to devour
Been chasing you forever
Fabricated innocence.

The Ravine is exquisite, yet with the deadliest insight
His unrequited righteousness and retribution
With amnesiac companion, we oscillate fresh memories.
