.... A. Sailor

It seems we were two ships that passed in the night. 
On rough seas, under threatening skies. 
In the moonlight I saw both your cargo of fright, 
And the loneliness deep in your eyes. 

I could easily see you were fleeing the past, 
And the terrible battles of love. 
I could tell by the scars that were low on your mast. 
And your torn set of sails up above. 

I first thought that we two would share a homeport. 
Berth together the rest of our days. 
But you ran with the wind and I'm sad to report. 
That we've anchored in separate bays. 

I now have a new course set straight for your heart. 
And I'll hold it through hurricane winds. 
I will no longer let your fear keep us apart. 
I'll be your Man 'O' War 'til the end.
