The Ship

A hole was inside the ship. It started to sink from my grip.

It was not long when I floated away,
away from a long-lost discussion

I used to have with a friend of mine,
she brought me hope and anger, but
still I trudge, for her prayers
that I forgive

I’ve prayed for love
I hoped for something you never touched,
then you slowly fell away from my grip.
It began and I would bleed,
the elements would spray outside me,
and you would crawl,
pretend you loved me

This boat always knew,
you were falling into the ocean.
My grip was unconcerned,
I let you fall there, I turned away,
nobody ever knew that this was the end.
I was never your friend

Your scheme turned upside
so far down that I would need
to fall in deep, to chase after you.

Holographic memories pass by you
and I knew,
this would always be forgotten
because I once loved you

I used to love, used to change,
I used to fall in deep with you.
We both would crawl around the room,
but that’s when I was two,
and you would smack my dreams and hurt me,
just to get my attention.
You would fall in too deep

I know you used to hurt me, I would never forget
how you would grab my cheeks
and make me embarrassed,
as the whole world watched

Let me get to you and subdue you
let me kill you enough to love you,
when you’re gone, no one will ever forget
how you were never here with me

That ship has sailed,
and my face was nailed
as I would go pale,
enough to see you in the light

You are too deep in the wound
that I would never forget,
how much you killed me

An island with a cruise ship stuck in it.
