Shipwreck

My ship was lost in the sea of sorrow 
Its masts broke into a million pieces
It took on water in the decks below  
As its hull was pounded by the rough seas

My ship was adrift with no land in sight 
Its decks creaked loudly, giving up the fight 
It listed very slowly on its side 
As all hope was lost and nothing went right 

My ship was abandoned and left to sink
Its wreckage, scattered and battered at sea 
It surrendered at last towards the brink 
As its fate was sealed to its final quay 

My ship was adrift, never to be found 
It was wrecked by the rough seas to its doom
