This is a sinking ship
Sailing on blue lips
It’s a lost cause
A pipe dream
But it’s always been hard for me
To give up easily
I’ve been known
To keep getting up
After taking a beating
But the same beatings are repeating
And the bruises last longer
As I get older
I am becoming reluctant
To jump into the storm
As I stand on the high dive of life
I get high
And
I nose dive
Into the ocean
As the storm rages
Where I hope to find her
Still swimming
Still willing to try
But my hopes are running dry
And some days
I don’t know why I still try
When all of this reality
Feels like a lie
Then I remember
She is the light in the maze
A soul left untamed
A blonde with confidence
With little patience for the bullshit
She won't just swim with the monsters in the abyss
She’ll become it
So I leap
And hope that I can still find her
Somewhere down there
Playing with the monsters
-C.H.
