The Lighthouse

We sit here. silent sentinels of the sea gazing at the cruelties in that the sailors frolic We were just like them Till they took us away into the depths so blue And now so are we. Why do they lash us upon the rocks eternally. Overpowering surf strangled our throats as we breathed the sky. we struggled like fish on a line till we were still, like lifeless anchors. Revelers in our misery trapped like weeds entwining a soulless wreck no one visits us in this prison As lonely as the lighthouse we haunt.
