Could have carried us farther
Mired only by ourselves
Horizon glowed in morning
Through vile was our resolve
promise to betray
betrayal to remember
Where the wave broke
And flushed us back
Back into the sea
Would have brought a haven
Sadness, that bitter failure
Night's embrace was colder
As the stars lit
One by one
memory rejected
Rejection was the promise
Should have gazed beyond
Ashen clouds that covered
Saw us huddle
Fearing
That bloated [bad word] sunrise.
