Abandon me, abandon you

By Nazia Kamar

Abandoned the ship,
Left the crew.
I decked the halls,
Burned my walls.

yet I chose this cyclone with you.

But who's gonna know you like me?
And who's gonna love you,
if not me?

I broke the glass,
lit the fuse.
You watched the wreckage,
said it’s no use.

I wondered through the smoke,
just to find you.

I carved our fate in the tide you drew
But who's gonna brave your sea?

Who's gonna stay through the bleed?
And who's gonna hold you, if not me?
