Shipwreck

The shipwreck waits on the ocean floor

Unmoving but between the doors

That separate happiness and gore

And it's slowly growing more sore.

Its sides are battered, tossed around

Thrown onto the cold, hard ground

Years ago, it was safe and sound

But it was struck, it sunk, and fell right down.

Its parts are splintered, scattered about

Framed by an everlasting pout

The water hushes its unending shout

And fills it with toxic; poisonous doubt.

Glimpsed from above but once or twice

They try to whisper scarce advice

They don't understand, they're hardly nice

For it lost the bet with a roll of a dice.

It's examined under telescopes

No one wants to venture close,

They're scared of receiving a dose

Of pain and horror from the crashing boats.

A tragic scene, but nothing to you

It's beyond repair, they don't have a clue

It's desperately looking for something to do

But it's all alone, will never be renewed.

She's at her lowest, with nowhere to be

Her emotions clash like you and me

But now she's a wreck and paying the fee

All that's left is a chest without a key.
