Wandering these oceans lost for ages
Shore is close but far at times with the
Lighthouse just barely out of sight
But the sailor hesitates, wondering if
It’s going to be painless. He gets close but
Turns around at the last possible moment
He can’t turn to shore right now or maybe ever
As he sets out he sees a possible island, but
Is it an island or a mirage?
He sets out on the small boat that is all he
Has left from the last crash with nothing but
Him his broken heart and the crown
He knows it could end in heartbreak just
Like the past encounters but he still moves on
Because when one feels pain all his life, you
Forget what love is and start to realize that
Maybe pain is all that you would ever know
So the sailor aims closer to it wondering if
He gets shipwrecked what would he be left with?
