Where Light Divides the Holler

Floating around the bend Floating around the bend Where light divides the holler Body is merged between moss and stone Where blood finds color She dissolves in the bank and I'm left alone Writhing in the clay (The water rises and sways) Betray the human shape (The water takes you away) Final embrace Tangled in the vine Shackled to the floor of the Earth My vision restored From the fog you emerge Carried by standing water We collide with shoulder and steel Sundered from your spirit lays your body The sense of touch reminds me that it's real And from within you, I hear a whimper A voice echoes in an empty form Inside my head, you say, "I told you so" We should've left before the storm A tear in the fabric of life We have each other and that's all we'll ever need I crawl out of the river Shaking hands with blood underneath my nails I am reborn in a life without you
