Years of a friendship that has never
Strayed from being anything more...

She wandered throughout the empty house,
Her fingers readjusting perfectly placed vases...

A low growl escapes through taut lips,
Her eyes burning with a suppressed roaring flame...

Where the river parts,
My heart does lie...

Her hand slides down my arm,
Fingertips grazing over my skin...

Frigid gusts of wind dance all around,
Capturing smiles and wrapping them...

I feel my knees wobble
As my breath shakes...

A soft light penetrates the otherwise dark room,
Angry lyrics begin to lull me to sleep...

The water runs over bare skin,
Skin that is icy to the touch...

Eyes once glazed over with pupils dilated
As she finds a way to ease her anxious pain...

You turn your back on me
And yet, I am the one who betrayed you...

Beads of sweat run one by one
Down a quivering neck...
