HMS (Poetry)

Note: This poem was actually written sometime in 2007, but I decided to dig it up and rework it a bit. It was
written in a pretty dark and tormented period in my life. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.


"HMS"

All is lost, so go on, jump ship
Don't you dare look back
Everything you ever loved is burning
Your heart is a smoldering wreck
Send the SOS, all hands on deck
We can't save her, the flames are consuming
We're surrounded by the remnants of
A powerful love kindled between
Two childish and naive souls
These words, like water, cannot quench the fire
Their liquid embrace is quickly overpowered
Now is the time to surrender
Forever lost in the seas of emotion
I will go down with this ship...
Save yourself, let me die knowing I failed
Raising the tattered white flag with my burning hand
This ship, my heart, is ablaze in defeat
