I'm an island
empty today,
My harbored love
has sailed away.
My fringing waves
followed her wakes,
Their barren shells
strewn on my bay.
The little birds
bright'ning my trees,
By wayward winds
were whisked to sea.
Maybe today
upon my shore
Will drift a sad
and lonely oar.


I'm an island
so empty today;
I hope my love
sails back this way.

I love you
With a thousand hearts."

i sorta like being an island.... but i don't think it's for everyone.
this was heartfelt.
