A Thousand Ships Afloat Today

Today I left the one I love..
I had no answers as to why, only pain and suffering from above..
I saw the ships as they set sail upon the tears that fell..
People asking why, but I could not find the answer to tell...
I know in my heart I love him still...
How does the mind let the heart begin to heal..
When it knows the truth that lies deep within...
A love that is meant to be, I sent sailing into a tailspin...
These tears I cry, this river that flows from my eyes..
I cannot hide nor can I disguise..
I see so many empty souls among the ships at sea..
Can I ever find a way to ask him to forgive me?
I never took the time to see..
That his love was real, genuine for me..
I look up to the sky above..
And ask God for his help, to return to me, my one true love..
I ask for Him to guide to me, my love, my soulmate whose tears I feel and see..
 upon these thousand ships floating on this lost love sea...
I pray for his return to me forever to stay..
As I am afloat in this mass of tears aboard the thousand ships that are afloat 
today...
As I'm the one who threw our love away...
