Red sea,

far from me,

a wooden boat,

that does not float,

sink within,

the sea I’m in,

a weathered day,

no words to say,

a sky so blue,

only me no you,

a heart of black,

you turned your back,

I washed away,

the reasons for you to stay,

I sing my song,

I sing it all day long,

an ending sweet,

dying on my feet,

lying,

dying,

paralysing,

forsaken stance,

this one last dance,

tomorrow,

sorrow,

let the time tick,

as the clock stops!
