The Dam.

Its an early morning,
Here I sit by the riverside.
I watch as the waters move unopposed,
With the same rhythm every passing second,
Motivated only by the movements of one another,
With no other motive but to move forward.

I look deep into my heart,
Searching for answers, to questions only you and I are quizzed of.
Gently, Slowly, I remember how our love had been.
Like a River flowing endlessly, not knowing our destinations only where we're coming from

Suddenly!!
In a Blink!
The flow stops.
The once powerful,flowing river is brought to a complete stop.
Emotions infuse together in this tiny cluster we find ourselves.
We have one another all to ourselves, yet can't move forward nor turn back either.

I manage to look beyond the little storm we've created.
What stopped the flow?

I see a dam, How did it get here?
A dam enforced with the strongest building blocks ever made
A Dam made of Family, Religion, Culture, Class.

We can't push past this.
Slowly, Gently, Painfully, in tears.
I watch our little storm die down,
Our little river Get licked up by the thirst of Lies and Pretence.
Slowly, Gently.
I watch the Hot blazing Sun dry up every molecule of you.
Slowly, Gently,
I'm left with just my little puddles, my broken pieces,
You are long gone, sucked up.
