I am water

I am water

try to forget me

I will seep into every crease and crevice of your mind

flood it

saturate it

but you need me

I sustain life

I am soft, vulnerable

I let the wind move me

make me tremble

but remember, baby

I am also a force of nature

I am as clear as they get

look at me

closely

and you’ll see yourself

but don’t come too close

you might fall into me

and I can’t promise you won’t drown

I can mold myself to fill any space

every space

but only if I choose to

try to hold me in your hands, baby

I will slip away

I can’t be tamed

I am water
