Ode to a Sailing Ship (free verse/song)
Location
I watch from the balcony
She's sitting there surrounded by the sea
The ebb and flow swallow
Her vision of me
There's a crowd around her
Yet she's still lonely
Everything is so clear
I can tell she doesn't want me near
Sweet siren take your advice from me
Dive right into the depths and see
The lonely hermit you've been shunning
I'm on a high rise now
Taller than you'll ever be
This is the last time
I wait for someone who ignores me
So unappreciated
Never again will I go unrewarded
You've never given me
A symbiotic stake in this
You say you don't deserve me
You're right
Now the waves are calm
The sky is serrated,
But the ocean's soft
So I shall crawl back under my rock
waiting for one who will set this right
And hiding from those who detest my sight
With that said,
I'm leaving you behind
Rust within the depths where you reside
A statuesque figurine
Covered in algae
Please dissolve, darling
