Lonesome Sailor

by morganmercury

I sail alone because the sea now holds my lover's bones. Some nights I see parts of her red dress floating by in distance. Death was always engraved on her skin since the day I said hello. Over the waves, isolation is my only company. I age with the sea, I am a constant pattern of madness. Only at night do I dance for the midnight stars. The moon was my partner, the only one I couldn't destroy. I lead, the moon followed, with her dress of waves that flowed gracefully around my ship. We don't dance for long as I fear one day I'll be the end of her. The clouds were beautiful. A home I crave away from these grounds. A place that's far from a soul I could damage. I pledged, I would never love a person again, or get to attached to them. I wish to be far away from earth, I want to be up with the thunder. Distant from where all my past lovers are six feet under.
