They built a lighthouse,
to warn the ships.
The ships transported the sea.
You professed your love,
with living lips.
Your lips spoke words that buried me.
Tanker ships containing water,
run aground upon the sand.
A human being becomes a monster,
by another human's hand.
The future dies within.
The past is always evaporating.
As the tanker rusts,
so I also must,
until we are but two derelict husks,
filled with nothing but regret.
Once, here was the sea,
voluminous and wet!
Once, I was me,
until the day we met.
