broken ship [newest version]

[newmystic]

I fell in love with my broken ship;
a depression that is anchored to my soul.
then along came a siren;
devilishly handsome and Mexican
five-foot-ten
Strapped to the mast,
I tried to resist his song.
when suddenly a northern gale swept him away,
leaving me in a puddle of tears
and his tune ringing in my ears.
with my sails now torn and down,
my comrades have all jumped.
I sink deeper into the ocean's cloud;
the waters have now colluded
to toss me into the sea;
"I guess I drew the shortest straw," I tell myself.
my best friend is now Jonah.
still unrepentant, I'm shaking,
my legs wet and wooden,
I can't believe the fate that has struck me
I cry out to God,
"I wish I was a real boy."
He says:
"Don't worry. Let your conscience be your guide." 
so collecting my courage
I look the whale in the eye
I tell him to swallow me whole.
now with closed eyes
and hands on my chest,
I take a deep breath;
I glide into the stream
as Ophelia in the water
I surrender to the deep
and trust the Blue Fairy
to come and rescue my heart;
and wake me up
before it's too late.

I fell in love with my broken ship
a tragedy blew through my soul
strapped to the mast
I tried to resist the Siren's song
but my sail is now torn and down
my comrades have jumped
the waters have colluded
to toss me into the sea
I guess I drew the shortest straw
my best friend is now Jonah 
unrepentant, I'm shaking
my legs wet and wooden
I cry out to God,
"I wish I was a real boy."
He says:
"Let your conscience be your guide."
so collecting my courage
I look the whale in the eye
I tell him to swallow me whole
with closed eyes
and hands on my chest
I glide into the stream
as Juliet
Ophelia in the water
I surrender to the deep
and trust the Blue Fairy to
rescue my soul
