Alone at sea,

Not even a star in the sky

Floating without direction,

Just the waves to abide by.

 

Everything is dark,

Even the compass is broken,

The lonely vessel bobs about,

Empty, abandoned, forsaken.

 

Maybe it had a glorious past,

Maybe it belonged to royalty,

Or it was a pirate ship,

Striking terror with its notoriety.

 

But nobody knows for sure,

The vessel’s a long-forgotten story,

It is no longer worthy of memory,

It didn’t deserve a place in history.

 

Alone at sea,

Not even a star in the sky,

One day it will sink to the bottom,

And no one will care that it died.
