I can’t even drink
Water
Without thinking
Of you
Pouring through my dreams
Washing away
My fantasies
And making yourself my reality
Cleanse my palette
I don’t want to be left
Without the taste of
Something pure on my lips
Nourish me
Keep me alive
For three days
At a time
When I don’t have anything else
My body will still crave you
And the baptisinal thoughts
You dive my mind in
Carve me up like a canyon
Like a river run through
My badlands, photogenic
You’re my companion
Through the thick and thin
Hell and high water
When the tide sinks cities
I’ll be drowning in all of you
I can’t even drink water
Without thinking of you
Is to say I can’t simply
Live
Without thinking of you
