Open Ocean

I’m in constant motion; if I don’t stay on course then I'm lost. My mind is like the ocean I fight to keep it open, sail the seven seas and make a fortune off my thoughts.

I’ve been through every letter, no matter how worn or weathered; strung them together and they read like a map to your treasure.

X marks the spot? Yet the spot for my EX is lost forever… I went through every measure to keep in touch with you but touching you was just not your endeavor.

I’m so clever, the way I cut you off left you severed. My hearts no longer black, the woman I love now loves me back and THAT’S what keeps me centered.

Not to gloat but she floats my boat and gives me hope that I’ll make it home
Through all the rain and pain this open ocean’s known to hold.

She’s the gold, she’s the jewels, and she’s the loot that I took from battle. She’s the
Reason that adversity can’t hold me down in shackles.

She strikes me like a lightning buzz! Her heart beats like the thunder does.
(Arrr!) I love her like I love me skalywaggin trusted blunderbuss.

Some of us, fight for the fight but I’m here for love.
I got a peg for a leg, but she’s my only crutch.

My crush, I get a rush! When I say “I love you” then
Hear it back like a parrot, it’s apparent that my heart has found
Another heart to pair with.

Bare with anything this life can bring! Sinking ship?
Yeah, that’s perfect!

Because it doesn’t matter how deep I go… I know…

… She’s my surface.
