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
