It’s funny needing things
You make bad decisions
Plugging holes in dikes
Which is what I
Tried to hopelessly do
Everything was just fine
Until the storms came
Not even my hands
Could stop the surge
Down I finally went
You washed to sea
Me alone bobbing aimlessly
You out of sight
I pulled myself ashore
And made my peace
Knowing you were somewhere
Now maybe even happier
