SAILING

Unpurchased ticket
no entrance was placed before my eyes
this wasn't your journey
a mirage, of never catching this ride
... your bridge way, was never my connection
more like a "see, but don't touch"
I believe I was mislead....truly mislead

I'm still pier side
praying that the roster said "one passenger short"
but your Captain keeps full steam ahead
I thought I was ready for this voyage
maybe,
maybe I had to much baggage for this cruise
a easy, yet judgemental call
something I'm so what accustom to

I get it,
I planned to far ahead
didn't even know I wasn't up for consideration
to be name upon your endless voyage
Why didn't I see the sign
I was the only one happy about the trip
while you look at me with much unwelcoming
no note
no wake up call
no text in reminder that the ship was departing

I get it
this cruise was never advertised
or a personal invitation
I mis-read the announcement
encrypted, "I'm leaving"
the silent note never written said, "you're not going"
The captain and her was the only attendance
that he, was her voyage with no return
didn't realize, I was just a line handler
sending the two on a voyage towards the sun
with enough fuel for one destination
for two hearts in the sunset,
where their love is destined to burn......SAILING
