We laughed and dance with liquor
in our hands.
The stars followed us through
the rough waters as we sailed
and didn’t have a care in the
world.
When I looked next to me I
knew something was wrong.
The breeze was cold and I
couldn’t feel your warmth
anymore.
I reached over and the
ghost of who you were
was gone.
I was alone on rough
waters and didn’t know
how to steer the ship.
The stars started falling
into the water and causing
enormous waves to throw
the boat over.
I screamed for you
but you were gone in the wind.
The tattered blanket
on board wasn’t enough
to dry my tears.
I let the ship rock
back and forth
until I fell asleep.
I hoped that when
I woke up you’d be
there, but there was
silence.
I was on an island
With no help.
I was alone.
I screamed for you
but I received no
reply.
I sat and cried,
praying for you
back, but you
never came back.
I was going to
be on this island
for a long time,
and I couldn’t
help myself.
