An Ocean's Love Note

I've sent my message to you in a lonely bottle,

A prayer for every wave to bring it closer to your boat.

I watched you tie up your anchor and set your sails,

My love floated away that day with my sins on his brow.

I keep a weathered eye out for your black silhouette on the horizon,

Sunsets greet my window with a myriad of color.

I've bound myself to the bedpost,

Willing death to find me before you.

Write back soon, my love,

Turn that old boat around and sail back to the doorframe of our house.
