We were two sinking ships

Who could not quite

Reach each other in the squall.

Too

Overwhelmed and lost;

Arms too weakened to hold

Anyone but ourselves

Above the crashing waves.

Oh how I loved you.

And the crashing thunder

Roared pitilessly

Drowning out the sound

Of my breaking heart

As I,

Myself drowning,

Helplessly watched

You drift out of

Sight.
