Break break break On the sand that still waits, O sea. And I wish that time could erode the past that unravels me. O well for the barefoot boy that passes the length of the shore. O well for the fisher without a net who forgot what the struggle was for. And the weathered ship moves on to the place where its cargo must rest. But, O that I could disembark or unload this unconquerable mess. Break Break Break At thy faithful cliffs, O sea. But I fear that a day I can never repeat will forever come back to me.

You Break Break Break
Break break break On the sand that still waits, O sea. And I wish that time could erode the past that unravels me. O well for the barefoot boy that passes the length of the shore. O well for the fisher without a net who forgot what the struggle was for. And the weathered ship moves on to the place where its cargo must rest. But, O that I could disembark or unload this unconquerable mess. Break Break Break At thy faithful cliffs, O sea. But I fear that a day I can never repeat will forever come back to me.
This is my own version of Break Break Break by Tennyson; my favourite poem.
