My life, my life no longer mine.
A ship that’s lost on stormy seas,
Now howling, raked by winds of time.
No longer sails in sunlight bold,
The dark of night rules long my sky.
Each morning yields the winter’s cold.
My rudder’s splintered, spit and broken
My hopes awash and left forlorn
Now rocky shoals yield fate unspoken.
My life is tossed on angry waves
Soaked by whims of careless tides
Ever closer to the grave.
No longer sweet the moon lit nights
No longer smooth the voyage ahead
My life now tastes of salty brine.
My life, my life no longer mine.
