Sinking Ship

January 16, 2024

The stars light my path

And they guide my way

I traveled the world to see you

And today is the day


Your eyes stare through me

They’re emotionless pools

And they tell me nothing

But their made for fools


I beg for conversation

Something to keep us alive

And you don’t entertain me

No matter how hard I strive


My love for you never fades

Even though I know you’re depthless

I’ll try to rekindle

This untruthful mess


I’ll try to push you away

Even though I took this trip

And I’ll tell you to spend your time

On someone else’s sinking ship
