Sea Drift
oh lonely life, adrift at sea
one for me, two for me
the birds like vultures
circle in vain endlessly
because i am alive and set free
with nowhere in particular to be
the endless reaches comfort me
for what it all matters, it matters not
days like ice
melting and sinking
to the bottom of the lake
the moon like a knife
jutting its way into the sky
i sense you
from far away i know your love
this feeling
so much more than mutual trust
abiding in each other with words of hope
this feeling
so much more than simple lust
i write to you in hopes you'll know it's you
and only you
i took a dive
and i survived
but now i can only dream of
all i left behind
i never wanted to lose you
