Leeway

Sick of watching
from battleships
Always ready to destroy
relationships

Engines powered by hate,
Fear, lies and unrest
Needing love and safety
Searching for each other’s treasure chest

In teardrops from our eyes
We saw lifetimes of pain
Each tear carried memories
Of a past hurricane

I can’t believe we are drowning
This close to the shore
Sandy beach inches below us
We can’t stand up anymore

We’ve carried these anchors
Through stormy weather
Weather keeps getting worse
Only tide, not time can reverse

Anchors forcing our last breath
Hate to lie, scared to death to confide
We have to let the anchors go
Because we’re already dead inside

Can’t hold on any longer
Continuing to bite our tongues
Let go only for a chance to survive
Before black water fills our lungs

I can’t believe we are drowning
This close to the shore
Sandy beach inches below us
We can’t stand up anymore

Internal compass directs us
To a deep red sky
It’s getting late to continue
We deserve a fighting chance to survive

We admit our sand castles
have washed away
We built them as best we could
This time not made of sand
That turns to maybe, if and would

Most treasures are buried in
Crumbled ships from being breached
There we are, so cold and deep
If we never try, we’ll never be reached

Sea serpents and mermaids
They do exist
It’s amazing what you find
When you don’t fear the heavy mist

We know we have
Become thirsty
Drinking Salt water
Will kill you and me

Can’t let Kraken
touch us again
No more chances from
his grips and grin

I can’t believe we are drowning
This close to the shore
Sandy beach inches below us
We can’t stand up anymore

To each other’s shores
Still a lot of swimming
Where we know our
Waters are forgiving
