"Sinking in our ship of dreams"

You're

Breathless-

Broken-

Gulping down drowned dignities

and sentimental apologies

as sea-salt stings

tired eyes and open sores

.

I'm

Speechless-

Suffocating-

Choking on tattered thoughts

And blaring accusations

As sand slips so easily

through clenched fists

.

Our hands

faithless-

fraudulent-

Entwining in impossible imaginings

And vanishing affections

As disillusioned dreams decay

on a derelict ocean floor
