Pirates from Everything by Huge Shark

PIRATES (V. Polichar)

Anchor my heart;
I am trying to fall out of love.
The deck is my pain,
and this missing you all I can think of.
Pirates will come, cargo gets lost…
You carry storms, your holds are light,
your smile is sure and strong.
You’ll be all right, sail dreamlessly.
All of these nights are long.

Knife in the dark;
catch the light on the flat of the blade.
Enough of a spark
that I dive to the side and am saved.
I find myself here at your door.
Retrace the path: I’ll return again,
all of my pain a song.
If I begin to think you are mine,
remind me that I am wrong.

(I’m so close to breaking
that your slightest hand
could touch me apart.)

Look at me now,
when I can’t find the trail to your heart.
The night is a sea,
and my sails are all falling apart.
The wind in my face, lighthouse gone dark…
I’ll wander on, bound for other ports,
but I won’t forget this time.
I’ve made a map that leads to your soul
the pirates will never find.
