Long Gone

Your sail is afloat and you're in sea

You're in a desert and don't see me

I watch you from above

Looking down at your cove

It's watery and dry

Cold and warm

You're born and then die

You are at sea

You are shy

And don't ask for help nor plea.

You are born then die

There is no in between

There is death at the end and nothing else in the seems.

You fill it with dark shadows from you bucket and pal

You fill your creases with the pasts fails,

The pal you got at your young age,

It spills onto your soul

You are your own pain.

You drive on and on

No buildings in the distance,

You drive on and sink into sand,

At sea you float in its desert,

Dry and pale,

Tired and sore,

Awake and dead.

You float in the desert,

You float at dry sea,

Dead Sea, you float longer,

You want to be let be.

Your sail you took down,

Your bow broke in two,

You take off for a swim

And are devoured into

The depths of the sea

From the past

And sleep on your knees.

You want to sleep

Only to wake in tears and sand,

Your sail is down and you're in the sea

You're in a desert and don't see me

I watch you from above

Looking down at your cove

Where you lie sinking

And lie to die at sea,

there is no in between.
