Like a Small Boat

Like a small boat In the vast sea Bow and aft Sits you and me Conquering storms Breaching waves Riding whirlpools Together we stayed Until one day A crack begins The side of our boat An unforgiving sin Silently growing Day and night But we cannot fix This scary sight Larger and longer A poisonous snake Becoming too much For our boat to take Splitting apart You in bow, me in aft The current carries us In it's endless laugh Apart, apart In the waves Our halves of the boat Riding farther away You from me And me from you I look out And reach for you But we're too far Winds too strong Sea too vast An endless song To this day I keep trying to find You and your half Our boat still whines For it's bow is missing Torn from it's aft Will not be whole Until finding your half But all your footprints Leads away And I know that you Plan to stay that way Like water and oil You keep us apart While I keep trying to fix it You keep breaking my heart.
