Message In a bottle

Love Lost & Tossed

It was a sad day when she left me,

The time I wrote this it was already 3 years

Down the line, she has already forgotten my name

And who I was.

I am the love lost & tossed away lover.

If she should have ever known

How I truly felt about her,

Just maybe you wouldn’t have found

This note tossed away in the deep of the ocean.

You see I was going to mail it to her

And tell her how much my undying love

Never withered from her.

She still holds the passion & the fiery

In my life, but what would that have meant to her.

While I was rolling up this note

To hopefully some pirates would find

And think that a broken heart’s treasure

Could be found.

I guess that doesn’t work right.

That no one will ever know about this

Message in the bottle that would

Drift millions of miles away from

Cape Town harbour.

Ships will pass it; birds would come and rest on it.

So whomever find this, just know.

I might have already found my heart

Somewhere else, while being loveless

And tossed aside by another.
