That Ship Has Sailed


My Oh My
How that ship has sailed
Left on the bank
Waving to those who prevailed

How on earth
Did it get so late
(Sealing my fate)
Did it get so dark
(Never making my mark)
Did it get so cold
(Growing so old)

With nothing but a mirror
Showing me the way
Depicting my history
(In my lines, my decay)

My Oh My
How that ship has sailed
Left on the bank
Waving to those who prevailed

How did it happen
No children on knees
                (a giggle and squeeze)
No soft whispered nothings
                (that mean so many somethings)
No white shuttered house
                (2.5 kids and a spouse)

With nothing but a past
Showing roads less taken
Depicting my days
                (A meaningless display)
               
My Oh My
How that ship has sailed
Left on the bank
Waving to those who prevailed
