For you (Lost at sea)

I got the idea for this while listening to "Into the ocean" by Blue October.

You were my boat

I kept steady on you

Before I slipped and fell

Into the churning waves

 

They swallowed me

I wallowed in the misery

All alone, lost at sea

Or so I told myself

 

Forgetting how to swim

I felt much to thin

To keep on fighting

The weights dragging me down

 

Then you appeared again

Oh so far away

Inspiring a struggling

I kept my heart beating

For you

 

As I swam away

I never could catch up to you

But at last I hit the ground

Run afoul

But I was alive

 

I'll remain this way

Even if I never find you again

I'll always remember what I've overcome

For you
