ii
a spiraling mess of heated arguments and jealous remarks
who knew you would make me feel this way
all broken, battered and bruised
A ship that has sailed stormy seas
and explored the dangers of the world
only to be toppled by the frozen tower of your words
that we both knew was coming
but couldn't avoid

the ship crashed
and with that all my treasure came sinking
to the bottom of the ocean
i told you i had loved you to the bottom of your heart
but nothing really comes out there does it?
i had lost what i had collected
i had lost me

now i spend my time on an island
washed up from our wreckage
i feel lonely and used
a man that has explored an isolate island
only to die all alone
i knew it was coming
i didn't want to avoid it
