When that ship you’re on is sinking,
and you’re fighting to stay afloat.
You have to just keep swimming,
even if it’s for you both.
They’re thrashing, pushing under,
you are the only hope.
A raft at last you climb upon,
they’re too exhausted from the fear.
Thankful heart, bright star night light,
makes you think back on your life.
The one that’s treading water is done,
their flame has died, their spark won’t light.
So you pry their frozen heart off yours,
and try not to cry your final farewell.
Release them back into the darkness,
the sky from which they fell.
Watch them sink and sink and sink,
until they fade and disappear.
You know you did all that you could,
for there was room for two.
Your heart will go on!
