i build the same house each time,

brick by brick with my trembling hands.

cracked beneath the polished floor.

i plant the same garden,

seeds of trust in barren soil.

the roots rot, falls to weeds.

i sail the same ship through storms,

patching the sails with old regrets.

i sink again into familiar waters.

a house in ruins,

a garden overgrown,

a ship swallowed by the sea,

i still return to rebuild.
