Please Don't Come with Me

Breathless- I am breathless
How have I more to say?
Wicked thoughts and wasted plots
Instead, I ask to stay
But there's a river in my mind, you know
And I can't bear to drift away

My lips are aching now again
They long for me to pray
So I'll press them onto yours
As if that's my saving grace
But there's a river in my mind, you see
And I'll drown soon either way

I have your whispered promised
Born this very day
Yet every word seems out of touch-
Distanced and dismayed
But there's a river in my mind, of course
And the current will not fade

So I'll present you with your options
Too heavy now to weigh
Such solace in the lack of paths
No desire to persuade
But there's a river in my mind again
And the river runs both ways
