I am a mental man,
The feelings are so true,
I am a genuine man,
Sentimental man.

I had cried like children,
In sheer repentance,
Repentance of exposing,
Exposing my love to him.

For he was less of a friend,
More of an obsessive flirt,
He enticed her and I lost,
I lost a lot of my sanity.

I am a motional man,
The gait is a slightly limpy,
I am a touchy man,
Emotional man.

I had pent up my tears,
The evening was blue,
Took a purple shade my ears,
Reasons to live were so few.

I was not possessive,
But just highly insecure,
Because leave me she may,
I don't want her to regret her choice.

For I had loved her,
More as a father,
And less like a lover,
A guilt that will stay forever.

Because it's her name,
Her name is tattooed,
Even in this thought,
And onto my heart.

Lightning struck the water as the stormy seas were tossed
like lovers in the night, two pirate ships, bones crossed
engaging one another in a a battle ****** and dark
neither one was left without the other's sordid mark
the seas were calmed a bit as the ships went on their way
but that was not the end, they'd cross paths again someday
the lightning stuck again, and this time the waters raged
as one ship attacked the other in a battle that was staged
the lightning left the skies but the seas would not calm down
the pirate ships were lost and only one of them was found
upon a tiny island, washed up on a beautiful shore
the pirate ship was rebuilt, much stronger than before
then the lighting struck again, and the other ship appeared
and the ship upon the island was overcome by what it feared
the ships again were tossed on the seas in foamy night
both emerging bloodied from a lasting drawn out fight
the island ship was stronger and she sailed off far away
and the other ship limped by and struggled through each day
as ships alone on seas, like magnets will attract
there was sure to be another time when one of them attacked
sure enough, one day the ship from far away came near
much stronger than before, when leaving earlier that year
the limpy ship put up a flag to mark a sign of truce
and the stronger ship made accord, but with terms a little loose
The colors raised again as the dark ship broke his peace
The stronger ship had no choice the truce it did release
The lightning struck down hard, but it glanced right off the mast
and into a calm sea, the stinging power cast
the dark one opened up the cannons and fired on her side
but the ship just held her ground, she would not run and hide
The strong ship sailed away, with billowing bright sail
on a calm collected sea, enemies at her tail
the cannon fire blasted from the ship that chased her down
but she just kept on sailing, not once to turn around
she sailed to her island where she'd put herself together
led her enemies straight to it, where they became friends forever
