This mind is defeated,
Ridden of every ambition,
Grasping desperately to survive.
Hanging on the tightrope
Looking upwards,
I see nothing.
I fear this senseless state.
I fear the endless waves.
That crash and thunder
On the rocks of my island.
And I am lonely, yes.
And I am lost, I admit.
Could I escape?
Could I sail away?
Yes, the boat is right here
Beside me.
But...
I am afraid.
I fear the vastness
Of the sea,
And the darkness
Of the nights;
Without you,
My light,
I am a glass-eyed fool
Rummaging thru memories,
To keep sane,
To keep warm,
For it is cold,
When you are alone.
