Shipwrecked

Set adrift in your eyes, I got lost in love's sea

Shipwrecked in your wake… but do you remember me? 

I signal to you from the embers of my heart

Rescue me, my love, from my Isle of misery

I frequent the shadows; I'm sinking in love's sand

The sun burns my body where you once placed your hands

Salt tears stain my cheeks. Darling, have I cried enough?

Sent message via bottle... hope you'll understand

I've searched the stars, but can no longer see your face

Without your love I feel so desolate... displaced

The shells they taunt with whispers, echoes of your voice

I fear I'll die on these shores if you don't make haste 

I'm starving slowly, denied of the love of you 

I've drawn three words on the beach... yet they seem too few

I pray you'll see them soon and it won't be too late

Before I am swallowed up ... devoured by the blue
