The Cat

The wind beats against the window
a cat pads by
it knocks over a bottle
I look up
in hope that it's her
it's not
not anymore
never again

The Ship of My Life

The ship of my life it is sinking
falling beneath a great wave
and all this has set me to thinking
life will send me to an early grave

What will I do without you
how will I ever survive
none of this is new
I just can't thrive

He tore you away from me
he said you couldn't be mine
and so I sink into this sea
and the world will go on just fine
