The Nile is a river in Egypt
The dead valleys did it flourish
Denial is a river in my conscious
In which I did drown and perish
Neglected all the problems
Denied every single obvious sign
Just for me to cherish a person who
Clearly had intentions that weren’t benign
Denied my own feelings
Just to understand their behavior
While I unknowingly helped the villain of my story
Thinking they were my savior
Denied my own doubts
Put them off as overthinking
Thought I could make our boat float
Acting like it wasn’t already sinking
Sinking, indeed it was
For a person I thought I could cherish
Denial is a river in my conscious
In which I did drown and perish.
