hearts shattered

darkness of truth

we boarded the ship of dreams with smiles of tomorrow

the ship sailed the ocean towards the sunset of glamours waters

i seen the beauty of magnificent splashes hit the waves at sea

deep out in the ocean the night turned cold the lights of the ship lit the water ahead

we dance and party all night long with smiles that lit up the rooms

the people were dressed in white attire and black shoes.

glasses of champagne dance on the trays of love

i walked outside to catch a breeze of fresh air.

in the darkest of the fog was a light of shadows

a black pirate ship of people in a white fog screaming for help of rage.

the ship was approaching fast, and the horn was bare to hear

i ran to the higher dock to get the captain attention

captain blow your horn there is a ship speeding ahead

The horn was loud and the ship was coming

the ships turned away from each other but scraped the rear of each other

the pirate ship disappear in the darkness like it was never there

We all looked at the waters but no other light could be seen

the Moter stopped and the fender was cracked the boat tilt backwards

and we was falling off the boat to the cold waters

i grabbed a table and laid on it waiting for the ship to sink

people was screaming and crying grabbing each other for comfort

my heart was shaking in fear as tears rolled down my face

was there a ship or a figment of our imagination

why no sign of the other ship

sinking of the ship was flashing in my head

i laid there thinking of the tears that froze while hitting the water below

all our dreams and goal were turning to cubes of ice

my vision was clear and shattered that night when the two ships collided

the dark hid the truth of no evidence of no other ship on the waters in 1957
