She sailed the ocean blue

 She dances

In a lace dress

On the edge of the abyss 


A child older than possible

A woman defined by time

And injustice 


Falling

Not falling

It's all the same here


In eternity


The captain honors

Her dance

And she dies a thousand deaths

Before she dies 


Another language 

Another custom

Another day 

 

Tedium

Boredom

Death


The seas claim another soul

In 

Absenteeism 



Beauty

Horror


Waves


Shock waves 


Through my heart

My soul

My life


Responsibility 



Options

 Faded colors

that bleed

into the soul


Faded commitment

that bleeds

into my heart


Wither or not

Without
