There were times, my love, when I thought the Black Water would pull me down though I knew you held my hand, I thought I might let go. To fall into and be cleansed by the Black Water that salts my lips, and washes my toes. Just so I could drag you down with me and they would say I was crazy, because I wouldn't let you go. So I'm a little bit selfish, my love, for pulling you under after you probably told me no. But I can't brave this trip alone and you wanted us to stay together, so I offered us both up to the Black Water crazy forever. Charley
