The Graveyard Of Ships

Above water I am nothing

Im a single ripple from the wave

Never the foam that rages against the rocks

My wraith is heavy like no winds

Sail boats sail but never my way

I am invisible to the sea

Above the ocean I am nothing

I am a stone that sinks to the bottom

Seagulls fly pass me and laugh to there expense

Next to a seashell I am a plain stone

They get put in the pocket while I am tossed aside

I am the salt in the air people spit out

I am the ugly cloud on a bright ocean sky

Above the pier I am nothing

People walk my boardwalk and hold hands together

Im the lawn chair on the beach that remains empty

I am smart

I know I will never be as bright as the sun

or as shiny as the oceans tides that yell his name...

But down there I am something

Anchors drag me down into the darkest part of the sea

Down there I am with you

We hold hands and walk the black sands

Coral wrapped around our toes

Here we are together

Here someone loves me

Here I am at peace

with him by my side

Down Below I am something

We dance a slow love song made by the whales

I loved you more and more, As we dance around the graveyard of ships

That sunk to the oceans floor

To never to see the light of day again...

with you....

you.

Annie and Jack

Annie woke up, looked over and saw that Jack was gone

Her jeans ripped up, bleached out pockets and grass stains from the lawn

She looked out the window towards LA and wondered how far he was

Because sex with him that night was better then any long high or buzz

She rubbered her eyes, mashed with mascara and scratch marks on her back

Her bed sheets tossed all over the room as if she was being attacked

As if she was being dragged around, and her lingerie torn apart

He left his Newports by the stairs, but drove off with her heart

She smiled out the window at Hollywood, while Hollywood smiled right back

Her heart was boxed inside a cage that belonged to her lover named Jack

She wanted her emotions back in the dark, when he touched her soul she purred

She wanted her heart back where it was, then again, it was never hers
