Lexi Riley In the van by the pond
I threaded the ribbons of my heart through your wild hair
As the breath of a new summer flooded in
I framed you in my heart
So that your beauty can never fade
How strange it is
That I can trace every constellation on your skin
And you will still not love me
How sad it is
That you will dive off the highest cliff
That you will stand up and let God carry you across the open road
How sad it is
That you are fearless in the face of everything except love
Once
In the van by the pond
Before the smoke took you
I thought I saw a man swimming in your ocean eyes
How sad it is
When you opened your mouth
He was gone with the tide
