Broken Seal

Built to perfection

Precise and exact

Each fragment

Each part

Meticulously refined

 

The name

The dream

Everything in line with the plan

Ordered

Stamped

Arrived

 

Your will don’t count

 

You stop reaching

This little hand out

There was never one

Reaching back

 

The contract states clearly

We don’t do that

Just hold those tears back

And put on an act

 

The pulling

The tugging 

The dragging

The pain

 

And then one day

On your knees

Gasping for air 

 

You ripping the seal off

Weighing the anchor

This ship will now depart this harbour

 

Breaching the contract

You never signed

Go

Welcome the new horizon lines

 

This ship will sooner sink

Than remain

Unlaunched
