He sails away from me

into the night of no returns

& broken promises...

I'll never break up with you.

I'm going to break up with you someday soon.

One has to be true...

He sails away from me

& for years we are apart...

My life goes on though those I love

are ripped from me... History repeating itself.

He sails away & years later I dream of him

& I wake drenched in sweat & crying endlessly

for the boy who drowned in bitter cold

watery grave without my arms to comfort

or collect him!

And the bitterness sweeps over me...

Drowning me in a frigid cold as permanent

& dangerous as those icy seas.
