Departing Ships by Lights Strung Like Stars

Every thought,
every action,
extends itself from a place of hate.
Cold winds,
empty hands,
he alone gazed upon lives living, their fate.
Don't you remember those days spent sailing,
the waves that filled our broken chests?
Don't you remember the wind in our sails,
that brought us out to nothingness.

Oh how I yearned to feel the wind in my hair,
as I cast away, I cast away the world.
To the waves, I throw pictures of my old past,
never memories, never images built to last (repeat)

Sit alone, you wait, you stay, you try, but you know that he’s never coming back for you again. (repeat)

If I attempt to remember,
If I attempt to remember,
If I attempt to remember,
If I attempt to remember those days I get this awful feeling of dread.
The weights hook themselves to my insides.
My heart struggles once more to find a reason to beat, to find a reason to sleep.
So I’ll forget about it and set off, set sail, for now.
I’ll lose sight of those distant horizons at sea,
and the fact that it was never you who helped us depart.
It was always on me.
