Erosion

I filled myself with you,
Even in the parts I wasn't empty,
Had you come and overflow my need.
But rather than make me whole,
Your rushing streams and cruel oceans
Carved away at my stony, lifeless face,
And made a canyon between us.
The hard cliffs turned to sand,
And the safe solidity
Noticed the new crevices and caves,
Riding along my surface.

I filled myself with you,
Yet you poisoned me with your infinite waters,
Drowned me in your definition,
Turned all sense around,
And left me less than I was before.
