Battleships
Since you like games, let’s play one more
We’ll sink some ships like we’re at war
For each ship, I’ll give a sh*t
And after this it’s “f*ck you then”
Ship one floating out at sea,
the littlest ship, the two piece
He’d seen some sh*t that you would not believe
To see this sh*t we have to take to the A4
B4 OPFOR tried to F2 guys in the same week:
“Hello you,” you said to me.
We’d meet in two thousand nineteen
Planning summer, it wasn’t even halloween
You were a D2 Tri athlete
and I was an E3 planning for BCT
C1 thing here that bothers me
I wasn't looking, but you found me
Now I’m alone again because you’re an ID 10T and decided to cheat
Ship two, Ship’s new, sh*ts old, I'm not looking for a fight
I8n’t know much more than the other guy
One day: you got up and left, was I even worth your time?
I guess the last time we hugged I should've held you tight
Sh*t three doesn’t miss you, he’s angry
Direct characterization cause lately
I've been starving myself to avoid heartache
Won’t sleep so I don’t have to think as I fall asleep.
I pass out and blink, oh yippee
Here we f*cking go again. “Good morning,” I mean
Sh*t four, only got two more ‘fore I take C4 to your door
Practice makes perfect, well that’s what I’m training for
Lied to your momma she used to love me too
I came to bring your sh*t
But you told her I was there to snoop
Hey bae, okay, we’ll say you’re right this time
But when, opened, there’ll be a note reminding you the gift is mine
Calm down, take a swig of some H2, O dear
Taking after big brother, there’s F9 in here
Even under fluorine you won’t listen to me
Now I blame me too, but you caused these five ships to sink
Sh*t five now, the last it seems,
I've got the tired that can't be fixed by sleep
So I’ll stay up late, look at my wall.
Why would I rest if no one calls
To tell me that I’ve done it wrong.
Honestly though, thank you for all you did and ever done
Now your name’s associated with pain
and you remind me that it’s only love until there’s another one

I know you aren't supposed to describe your poetry because it is supposed to mean something different to everyone. However, for me this is just the story of my ex girlfriend of two years who treated and how she treated me after our split. The whole poem is supposed to be an allusion to the board game Battleships, hince the war scheme and grid location homophones.
