If loose lips sink ships,
We must have created a graveyard,
Glossy lips slipping sleepover secrets,
Chocolate dipped gossip crumbs that we ate up, but…
Overnight, something had happened
I awoke to find the horizon blackened,
Docks empty, so I set out searching because I heard that
Your ship sailed across some solemn sea
But when we
Met back up, ships anchored on unknown shores, I
Discovered we don’t know each other anymore
Because I arrived too early,
I came, saw, conquered, kept cool as I wondered
Where you sailed off too.
The buzz of your phone must not bother you,
And as the call goes to voicemail once again,
Your sunny voice sings and the beep beckons a message but I ran out of words when we went our separate ways so
Maybe we should stow our cannons and keep casting our sails
I’ve tried my best to meet you halfway around the world but
The tide is in and maybe its time we
Sever tie ties, cast off the lies roped down to the deck
Push them off the plank
Lighten to load or well never have smooth sailing…
I guess all I’m saying
Is that separation might be best,
Could breed success
Friend ships can come to an end
So sail on, silver girl
And maybe our ships will cross currents again someday.
