Condemned Vessel

Nobody missed the condemned vessel
As it drifted off to sea
And I could practically see your face
As you disappeared from me
You swore it was coincidence
I was lost in such a way
The latitude and longitude
Has lead us all astray

Perhaps a hallucination
No one else can see
The mark of your intention
Sent us out to sea
The brig was bound to the port
The flag was raised to sail
Fell into the depths
Within this murky veil

Between Scylla and Charibdis
We are bolted to the sea
Lost in mortal struggle
Adrift in mass debris
You spit upon my name as
I sink to the ocean floor
My bashed and broken spirit
Will not haunt you anymore

This act of amputation
Has cut into my life
The image of your treachery
Implanted on my eyes
The look upon your face
As you fired all guns wide
Devoured by the wreckage
Against the lifeless tide

There's nothing that'll stop us now
Not even the perfect storm
The typhoons and the hurricanes
Provide a grim allure
Aspirations of my demise
Has fueled vindictive rage
All the while your tainted thoughts
Have put you in a cage

This self assassination
Has cut into your life
And though your heart is taken
It still flows with the tide
Waves that break along the shore tell all of what you know
Remora on your conscience wherever you may go
