Sea of Sorrows: A Pirate's Reflection
(Verse 1)
In the golden age of the salty sea,
My mate and I, as close as could be,
Served our captain, our hearts did adore,
But fate had dark plans, as I'll tell you once more.
(Verse 2)
Our captain, a legend so bold,
Doomed to the scaffold, his fate foretold,
Tears filled our eyes as he faced his last breath,
His final farewell, to the face of his death.
(Verse 3)
One fateful night, in the city so vast,
Amidst rain-soaked streets, our friendship was cast,
My blue-haired friend, anger like a flame's flare,
Left me behind, my heart steeped in despair.
(Verse 4)
I sailed through the waves, alone on the sea,
Storms and regrets, my only company,
Yearning for the day when our paths might align,
Underneath moon's glow, in the starlight's design
(Verse 5)
Years drifted past, in the moon's mournful glow,
In my heart, the longing refused to let go,
Praying for a reunion, 'neath the stars' tearful might,
But my blue-haired friend remained lost from my sight.
(Verse 6)
Now the tale concludes, in shadows and despair,
Two cabin boys parted, a bond beyond repair,
Our friendship adrift, lost in the sea's sway,
A sad, lonely end to our once-glorious day.
