Men of the Sea

No more was there a surprise in him looking to the horizon to see the next challenge to face tries to keep her from harm,just to hold in his arm but he knows there's no hiding place Cause in a captains eye's, she'll win him first prize seems silly to get in the way He knows what bait to use, he knows what sail to choose to get her in close to slay But still he tries and protects till it's him she rejects and she'll go off alone just to see and lying in wait, is a sad lonely fate but a meal for the men of the sea the sailors laugh and they jest, as they tear at her flesh and they brag to each other how easy, in the depths of the abyss, lies a heart chained to one kiss with no chance of seeing releasing To him she was the air,couldn't breath without her there the reason he could exist worn down now and older, realized that his shoulder was the thing about him she missed..
