Pirate Ship Purgatory
Deeply incarcerated in the sands of time
Your life changes with the flip of a dime
Stuck in purgatory without your guide
Broken and shattered stuck in my pride
Smiles cast away the thoughts that boil inside
Your so far away --- who will I confide?
Outraged and irate I take a few steps back
Gagged and suffering in this Dunlap sack
Strangled inside my speechless voice
Stuck in purgatory because of a choice
Lost and chained to the walls I stay
I close my eyes and begin to pray
To the Gods and Heavens above
Shower me with all your love!
My life crumbles in stacks by my feet
Holding a surrender flag and admitting defeat
Struggling to keep your blue eyes in view
Struggling to survive without you
Body growing feeble --- my strength is gone
Fighting and battling for far too long
Found you at last and slipping through my fingertips
Secretly sinking my pirate ship
Holding you close my imagination flies
I look up in the rain to the thundering skies
Tears begin to fall blistering my cheeks
For you I already seek
Swallowing my fears to look far and wide
Hurting and bleeding from deep, deep, inside
Kissing your lips I struggle for one last taste
Smoking a drug --- I already aced
Hieroglyphics cloud my frightened brain
Being without you makes me insane
