“cry me a river”

the words slip out of your mouth

just as the tears slip out of my eyes;

salty drops falling in waterfalls

down my flushed cheeks.

a river?

is that what you want?

well too bad.

you won’t be getting your river.

rather,

you’ll be getting an ocean,

as big as the pacific.

you only wanted a river?

well too bad.

you hurt me far too much

for something as small and petty

as a river.

an ocean is what I will cry,

and an ocean is what you will get.
