Upon Ships Andrew Vasquez I’ve fought my battles
Drawn my sword
But this time I’m done
Done with this war
Take my hand
Tell me it’s okay
If you may

My life so demanding
And my soul so weak
Take me to the harbor
Of glistening shores, ships made of pearl
Laid upon the endless blanket of forever
Please don’t come with me
It is not your time
Like Romeo loved Juliet
Or how Tristan loved Isoled
I’m sorry for my sins
My vengeance consuming me
Remember that message I leave to you

Let your heart drink from it
But cast me away
Please have faith I will know the way
Let me walk that last six feet
Unto my ship made of pearl
Filled with memories
Laden with “I love you’s”
And built of my own strength
I promise I shall wait for you
