My heart is on a sinking ship

They say home is where the heart is

And if that’s to believed

Then I’m homeless now, and I have been

Since the day I watched you leave

I had given you my heart

that once upon our time

And I desperately held on to yours

I guess love can make you blind

When we met, I thought I knew

That our fates were meant to cross

And our paths converged with commonness

My loneliness was lost

Perhaps we were too different

We should have seen it at the start

I still wonder how I captured

Such a wild and beautiful heart

Then came the day you told me

what you wanted for your life

Who am I told hold you back?

Even if you are my wife

Now when sleep comes, I dream of us

Of things that used to be

Of the future I had planned for us

One I thought was guaranteed

Then it changes to a hurricane

With wind and rain and fury

I am on a boat and struggling

The elements, my judge and jury

I wonder, should I have let you go

Did I even have a choice?

Oh what I wouldn’t give to hear

Your wise and steady voice

Then the dream is coming to an end

I see you standing on the shore

You no longer hold my heart

While I still cling to yours

The image fades, the sun comes up

Time to face another day

The terrifying tedium

Of the boring working day

But I see the papers lying there

Weighed down heavy with my pen

A simple scribbled signature

To bring us to an end

And now looking back to how we were

As I sit here in dismay

I knew I couldn’t go with you

And I couldn’t make you stay

There is nothing more that I can do

Time to move on with my life

I smile just knowing for a while

That you were once my wife
