A ship I won't let sink

by Unfantastic_one

I wake up every other day wishing I could just kill the pain Or just jump ship and never see another again This ship is sinking In this sea of thoughts and feelings Then you notice your phone there's a message at the tone Her voice rings through your soul Your my symbol of hope A SOS when i feel alone Take a shower Watch the water drain away Wishing it could carry the pain away I'll hold my breath, I'll tempt death But in those moments My body and mind are side by side I can feel the water in my eyes I guess this is how it is to be alive Get up, get dressed and meet your girl I'll find the strength even at my lowest depths just to see her smile I'll never let her see that side That's the only secret I'll ever hide Reject that frown I'll never let this ship go down Even when I'm sinking she makes me float She's the life raft and I'm the boat And I don't understand why she's given me a chance just some lonely broken kid with a fake smile and nothing much to give chilling in a maiden shirt listening to offspring I'm not her Normal type From the lowest of all clicks The bottom of the food chain A goldfish in the ocean Take a deep breath you're going under The currents pulling your mind astray Drowning in my bottled up ways You'll talk on the phone Just so she can moan about All her worries and her fears and  the occasional tears But you don't mind You're her rock in her hard time The thoughts in your head decline and you're no longer stranded out at tide   That fake smile you provide is Keeping her alive If only you knew you're the picture in her head The strength that pulls her out of bed And you don't understand why she's given you a chance.
