The Water Trilogy Box Set

Preface

There’s a girl long dead who rests down by the water’s edge.

Her final words were, “No. Don’t. Please. I’m sorr—.”

She never did get the second half of her apology out.

I made sure she never will.

Some things are best left unsaid, I think.

In the end, it didn’t matter.

I knew she was sorry.

And she knew it too.

There’s a girl who rests down by the water’s edge.

She was beautiful, but you and the water

washed it all away.

You think I don"t know what you"ve done,

but I do.

I know that you visit on occasion,

and I know other things too.
