He Dropped His Money

I thought you were the one,

But I couldn't've thought've this. 

You say hello, goodmorning

Never said goodbye. 

Come downstairs every morning,

Make your food and glass

of water

Then turn around and head back. 

Never, never, never

Leave the ship,

The world outside's too deadly. 

Can't step onto land, 

Who knows, I might wash away. 

So don't forget that,

That I just might die

At any second. 

Hopefully, in the midst of

All these days gone bye, 

You'll read this, and remember

All these crazy times. 

Or, you won't and everything

That stands of a man

With beautiful plans 

Will willfully rot and wither,

All of my hopes, thoughts, and dreams 

Will die here, with this

And the apocalyptic 

Beating of a snare

Intensifies
