A hull halve


I am a boat Guided by the great light My beloved captain I tote Sailing into stormy night My sails fill with wind My hull lurches fowards I felt the bend Before the break in my boards I go out to sea But then unexpectedly I realize there is an abundance Of water inside me My captain said that my boards would not break It turns out his confidence was more than just fake It was true betrayal, I was too old for his taste And just for me, his heart was not chaste Though a boat I am not And captain I do not have My love has left me to rot Taking of my heart, a hull halve.
