On a happy sea tour
Our love blossomed to the core
All sores aimed to heal
But the sea goddesses hated for it to be real
We sailed without mails
We shared in all the sails
We loved, and held
I forgot, the soldiering limpy loss I held
Until your unfortunate slip
Reminded me of what life from me strip
My restlessness led to my frustration
So I pushed for your emancipation
You interpreted it as lack of love
And looked up above
Cursing our meeting
Even while I was with pain seething
Now you have returned home as a sad treasure
Where your father took you out of pleasure
And I sit thinking what good came out of my cool
I am completely a fool.
