Devotion

you play captain,
and I'll play ship.
crossing the ocean,
hands tight on my grip.

we'll defy the 4 winds;
sail every strait and fjord,
but a lonely mind'll bend
when the sea is your lord

our distance away
will bring us closer you see,
but the lack of civilization
fleshes out our reality.

I leak out a groan
every time land comes near,
but you dare not touch down
for dark things linger there.

so again I turn
to return you to your sea,
as you berate the land,
and I abide your fr'gility.

until that day,
I awoke to find
nowhere within me
the one who I
had to guide across
that blue dream.
even th' sea was too much...
for you it seems.
