One of the
Hardest things to
Do I’ve found
Is trying to
Embrace a cold
Heart they sting
When touched remain
An island swimming
In seas despair
Surrounded by the
Rusty husks of
Those that ventured
Too close and
Found themselves marooned
I’ve decided rather
To stay far
Off shore deciding
To protect my
Vessel rather than
Be seduced by
The promises of
The pirates treasure
