Torn Loves

influenced by researching pirate ships for work

The sky weighs on the maiden
as black and heavy as the day
she lost her love upon a churning
sea

The tears make pools as the maiden
screams why god me oh why
as her silhouette bends broken and
forlorn looking for a love that will
spend eternity lost at sea

The wind blows as cold as her
shattered heart sending shivers
down the spines of those left
behind the wolves howl in unison
with her pain

The village hears her every night
hoping the two will again unite in
their next lives though their hopes
are in vein as the torn loves are
to wonder eternity without seeing
the other again.
