Literature Text

The words can flow like a river,
Or be hidden like tears in rain,

And you've disguised your words,
In the game you still play,

If you want to talk, talk,
But if you don't, then don't,

As simple as that.

But I'm not in the mood for games,
Not anymore,

I don't wish to be your friend,
It was a terrible idea of yours,
And it was a terrible idea of mine,
To ever believe I should be yours.

But Big River's gone and overflowed,
With not even a teardrop from me,
But a collective downpour of my sanity melting away,

With heavy sighs and a heavy heart,
With loneliness being my companion,
And so I wander the Universe alone,

As the Doctor,
The Wanderer,
The Gray Lantern,
The Shadow,
Whatever you wish to call me,
I flow down the River,

A literal Huck Finn.

Water, water, everywhere; nor any drop to drink.
