You are slipping
Dripping and dampening my fingers
You say I am putting you through the wringer
But I have not rung the soaking towel
That I use to dry my tears
And I have spent years watching you unravel
I do not foster any growth
You’re falling into the river and I do not know
I am conflicted; I feel restricted
Because I want you to see your reflection on the surface of the water
And realize you have not gone any farther
From your original form
And the storm will not wash you away
You still live with the detrimental decay
It is so hard to let it go
Maybe after the storm blows,
There will be a rainbow
Nothing is promised
Nothing will be accomplished
If I am not honest
But you are my rainbow
Your light blinds me from ever letting go
Your effervescent glow
Forbids me from letting you know
Why should I be the storm that overcasts you
I will let it flow past you
My rainbow, that glows after my storm
Full of frustration and scorn
But I fear I will lose you forever
The light that darkens my life for the better
Maybe it is your unrestricted access that really torrents
It will always be my torment
