The Siren

Hearing timbers creak from a ruined ship

Flat on my back looking up at the stars

Cast adrift with nothing left within grip

Nursing a heart cut with a hundred scars

She sits on a rock in the pale moonlight

She said sweetly she was waiting for me

Across many dreams and many a night

I, no one else, was her one and only

I tried my best – I did – to cross the rift

But destiny decided where I stay

Did she notice when I was cast adrift?

When she’s never to be touched who can say?

Her song will go on for eternity

As she continues on waiting for me
