She the country, he the future

113 43 50
                                    

He's bound by the oaths of her tears,

But he's stuck in his boat,

The moon is present there

But it swallows space and

Burps a bevy of dark clouds

And does nothing more.

She is on the shore

She waits for him

She waits for the sea

She waits for him more,

She wishes he is

Handsome,

Hair in order, tidy like before.

He finds a crocodile,

It promises a ride on its back

Will it carry him to the shore?

Can it carry him to the shore?

Will it betray him before the shore?

Will he go under its jaws?

Will she go under its jaws?

Will they live happily ever after?

The moon is still there, yes-

But as useless as before,

The sea does more detriment

Than favours

She waits for him

He has a sea to cross.
