Elise
October 14, 2012
My Dear Elise,
I beg you, please
Forgive me for losing you,
For hastily abandoning the crew.
Icy arms of the sea swallowed you whole,
Now I know nothing of warmth, only cold.
My dear Elise,
I wish you only peace
For that, which I do not know
Causes the despair only to grow.
I dream of you each night
In hope of love, not spite
I know you are gone, perhaps forever
This hope may prove a pointless endeavor
But now, as I row quickly out to sea
I hope that you can forgive lowly me
And before I jump over the tip
I only imagine joining you, my dear ship.
