Betrayal at Sea

You made it abundantly clear

We don’t belong in the same sphere

Your motives always seemed unclear

My future less bright than it once appeared,

A collision course with a rocky shore

Time to steer her clear!

Seems I always ran aground

Whenever you were near,

Now I’m full of remorse

My voice has gone hoarse

My settings are all wrong

Seems I played this game too long,

Oh Angel of the dark

You’re really more like a shark

Your face so cold and stark

Seems we met on an impulsive lark,

When the hangman comes in

Wearing that sadistic grin

I know it’s time to smack him

Right on the chin!

I feel the ship sway

Beneath my feet on this day

The deck is all wet and gray

I see your face in the mist of sea spray,

I feel the dread of the night

Rolling in like a seagull’s flight

No one will survive this fight

At the end of my tunnel no light!

Seems a fatalistic blow

As the ship throws me to and fro

Can’t get her steady as she goes

Betrayal by deadly scavenging crows!

I’m shaken from head to my toes

I’ll put a blunderbuss under your nose!

I know where your dagger will go

You, my poison Honey, you should know!

Now I lower the pirate’s flag

There’s just one little snag

A cannon ball hits making the sails sag

My temptress plunges the knife in and I gag!

You made it abundantly clear

We don’t belong in the same sphere

Your motives always seemed unclear

My future less bright then it once appeared.
