a black heart is dying.
an old deck’s awash with blood.
afore you send me away
look back to that day.
i opened my chest
a hinge creaked as i did.
to show you that love
that love that i kept.
it grew pale in the dark
but you showed it the sun.
afore you send me away
look back to that day.

Love the rolling rhythm – like waves – and the repetition of ‘afore you send me away’ reminds me of a sea shanty, for some reason… fantastic stuff
