Compass of steel and chain, Around your neck you sit. The points you show feign, They never fit. Lying so gently, Laying so gently, Benignly fading, Mentally. I can't fade the North I know, Evident are the seeds she's sown. If only if only I weren't so lonely. The Ocean exists.

Compass
Compass of steel and chain, Around your neck you sit. The points you show feign, They never fit. Lying so gently, Laying so gently, Benignly fading, Mentally. I can't fade the North I know, Evident are the seeds she's sown. If only if only I weren't so lonely. The Ocean exists.
I have a necklace, Which I created. A compass from years ago, A chain from even further, Found their home, Around my neck. The points on the compass work, But not when it's vertical on my neck. Le Beau Blue had a necklace that was one a compass that her father had given her. She is my ocean. I am landlocked. I have a compass. I have a memory. Direction.
