on this river

with or without he’s been given a taste of both and wonders next time if he could skip the ending or if there’d be no ending at all  I wasn't there but i watched every second and felt the pain, just the same as if he’d plunged the knife down my throat  with or without he’s more familiar with the latter but that smile…that smile and the way he held his drink with the confidence it would never empty  I wasn't there but i might as well have been stuck on this river with his hands in my hair hungry he’d been searching for nourishmentsince before we metand now he would feast  with or without I’d rather the first

but he never offered the luxury
