Water

Deep as the deep blue sea is me in love with thee.
In a puddle you threw me once and I got up with a duddle,
You did not know how much I was in a muddle.
I am like water dripping from a tap which cannot be stopped even if you wanted to.
Water, water which comes from the sky do you know why
you go out through my eye.
Water, water in the sky why do I have to die, can’t I be
forever-eternity in fact, until the last day comes when I have
no choice but to give up for all I know I died already from the push you gave me when I fell in the puddle with a duddle
and I did not know what hit me because for heavens sake I
was in an eternal muddle.
Drip, drip, drip go the drips of the time which will never stop no matter what.
