I recently found out I am a 5th or 6th cousin to the 'Unsinkable Molly Brown' from the Titanic.  Of course she was a survivor and here is a twisted imagery or dream, thinking about her/me and a loved one..

A stolen moment on the deck,
A stolen kiss before we face the prospect of rage,
A stolen glimmer of happiness,
No longer am I the trapped bird in the golden cage.

You and I will face the future together,
I will protect you from the emptiness and pain,
And you will share your gifts with me,
We both have so much to gain.

The lookout saw the berg,
And we stood in confusion,
In the midst of cries 'Hard a' starboard',
She struck the ice, one inevitable conclusion.

"Get in the boat Lis',"
"No!  Not without you!," I replied,
"Go on, I'll get the next one.' you said.
"NO!  Not without you!" I cried.

"We have come too far, it's you jump
I jump remember!"  I said clinging to your hand.
"I will not leave you, I want to be with you always!' I said,
"I would rather die with you than lose you!" I cried.

We shared too much, we loved too much,
You were my life and breathe now,
You are my very world, my very existance,
We'll make it together somehow..

It was your eyes I saw in the sunset,
Your touch I felt when bathing,
Your laughter that echoed in my heart,
You now, my everything.

Lis' would not leave his side,
They would stay together,
Forever or for a few more hours only,
For with a love such as theirs they would love, one way or another - FOREVER....

I may get around to a part 2... I don't know..

If you can feel that staying human is worthwhile, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them.
