Across the ocean lies a second chance
Underneath a roof, above the broken mask
Tokens of remembrance scattered around
Consume what's left of a hapless mind
Listless hands search for something to break
As malice churns out of an endless void
A distended dignity comes slowly undone
The soul degrades while the sun burns
The Holy Father weeps for an abandoned heir
As on a peaceful Sunday spent in seclusion
Merely rise to make an empty statement
And flowers wilt when butterflies are killed
The bosom craves to feel real pain
Confused about forsaken love to numbness
Unchanged are the vows, only people
As make believe morphs to destiny
And here you shall stand till eternity or so
Waiting for the ship to come in...

i dont know if this is what you intended but this is the way i see it:
I find it to be an amazing description of life and its disappointments, and almost the futility of hope...
I can see a different story in each of the paragraphs.. and the common string connecting them all seems to be despair...
nice :-)
