someone once said to me
'Don't be surprised if in the seem of your life
you find a big rip
the heart is a vast ocean
its love a fine sailing ship
capable of long travels
yet as well prone to sink or set a drift
so to even begin to battle the odds
first you must locate the rift
repair the damaged seem and save yourself some extra
years of negative ponder and self doubt
for if you ever care to add up anything at all
first you must insure a place for such a said amount
