We Are Not a River

You said you thought our love was like water, we were a river that never stopped flowing.
If our love was like water, we were more like an ocean.
I would have waves of miss you, but they have been more like hurricanes since you've went away.

You said you would never leave me,
but you washed me away like a child that has been left abandoned too close to the shoreline.

You said you wouldn't let anything hurt me,
but you protected me like a careless mother with her knees buried in the sand begging for forgiveness from a God she never believed in.
