Broken ships

Howth, Ireland, my photo

It's just another sleepless night

Where I'm lost between these sheets of mine

Without the tingling 'round my spine

Cause it died down, left me behind.

And all these pictures in my head,

Once vivid, happy, passion red

Are now just empty frames, so sad

Shattered, bursting of regret.

Broken words and fallen swords

We lost this war, I'm at my worst

All these things you left unspoken

They haunt me now, my heart, it's broken.

You planted flowers in my mind

Gave me colour, lit a light

You were the piece I couldn't find

Thought it was true, one of a kind

But all these things you made me feel

Oh, how I believed that they were real

But no, it was not meant to be

We were caged birds and never free

Like a broken ship without the sail

Bound to sink and bound to fail.

I guess someday, it'll be okay

With nothing left that I could say

Only memories and fading dreams

Of everything that could have been

They're just tearing holes inside my mind

That stare at me in the dead of night.
