long time dying
Here i am lost at sea
My rudder parted company,
with me.
My guide for life
broke away,
and has left me floundering
like a whale.
My luck has turned,
it drifts on back.
I go to grab it
but it turns its back.
Just enough so i get a touch,
then drifts on past.
What the hell was that.
Enough to give one fading hope,
Then taken away,
What a joke.
And on and on it goes around,
just when I get it
it lets me go.
To drift again all alone.
I've grabbed at other parts to fit
but this boat only takes on bit.
That rudder that guided me straight and true
has left and taken my life with you.
