She lays asleep next to me
So graceful, so quiet
She doesn’t hear this war
That’s been playing out in my heart.
The sea is calm but a storm will come
And take her far from me.
I know my framework was not built
To be sailed alone, away from her beautiful eyes.
So I’m leaving tonight.
Far away from her soft touch and luminescent smile.
And god, how I wish I could stay,
But her heart is pushing me away.
I absolutely love your phrase about your framework not being meant to be sailed alone. As a lover of the sea (and of being close to someone) this hits me hard and deep. Thank you for this...jake
