I returned to find the pieces in fragments; the hands holding outstretched, in shards on the ground, inches where it rested, my heart it was shattered; and everyone left me, they couldn't understand, The sea it rolled, i stepped into the water; i sealed my mouth, my warnings went unheeded; I slipped on board, the storm above raged; i could do nothing but hide, He dived overboard while i drown beneath the planks, she laughed again and stirred the course, her rudder had broken, her oars were lost, the rocky coast grew close, I dropped the shards and lost the grip, i saw the deep as a dead man does; In my world of blurry view of lonely girl, she crashed to shore, and never saw who cared, I grew blind as the water overtook me, she crashed upon the rocks and as the sea drew back: They all walked away, i drifted in small bits, i heard the dream crash down, The hands holding outstretched, they call to me, The past now a dream, she never could see. She laughed again, to stir another course, He dived overboard, i drown beneath the planks. He dived overboard, i drown beneath the planks.
