River of Time

Sitting by the river
Where you sit now and then
The frayed wooden bench
Seems more ancient than timeless pain

Sitting by the river
Under the umbrella of a tree, 
Overgrown with age
It keeps your company 

Sitting by the river 
On a tired bench, under a tired tree
You the tired man
You desire, but you forsake human company

Sitting by the river
Solitude slows down time
Sun burns your eyes
Memories make you cry

Sitting by the river 
Thoughts travel back far and wide
You believed those were forever 
How they vanished in time

Sitting by the river
A unformed feeling torments your heart
As the water flows, so does time
Is it the same river by which you always sat?
