The Sea of Hums

A poem about...

The Sea of Hums

Of that poor boy lost in a Sea of Hums

Sweet turned bitter is what he’s become

If destruction only is what it sends

Who knows if this heart shall ever mend

Both Love and Joy have become rotten

From the heart of a soul long since forgotten

As for the boy lost in the Sea of Hums

Who knows what his heart's become

Perhaps it is best to leave it worn

Than to prevent it further from being torn

If a lesson is learned from each mistakes

Just how many times can one thing break?

And that poor boy lost in the Sea of Hums

His time of trials has just begun

He searches endlessly for one to love

But he only finds the grey stars above

Will no one come to aid his quest

Will the beating of his heart be put to rest?

As a tired soul this boy becomes

He remains drifting within the Sea of Hums

Consumed by what he has feared the most

The boy is no more than a withered hope

And a withered hope is what shall remain

As that boy is forgotten once again
